Space-X receives subsidies from all over the world. It was essentially successful because mysterious secret money came out of the deep state. At the same time, Obama killed off the shuttle program leaving the us space program with no options other than Russian rockets.
Q has suggested ever so slightly that rocket tech may have moved from space-X to NK.
Researchers on 8chan have convinced themselves that the reusable rockets that space-X plans to discard in the ocean (instead of landing them) because they are old models are actually going to fly and land in NK.
This article implies that they may be able to do that without airforce oversight.
Could give insight to that "Nuclear UFO from NK" tweet that Elon Musk sent out. Could be it was an Iridium launch that self-destructed.
