#3Do we need an article about the trucking company that brought the telescope to the launch pad as well? Surely all freight carriers are due recognition?
This headline makes it sounds like SpaceX is more that a freight carrier here, undoubtedly for clicks.
Being a freight carrier to space is indeed very cool, and exciting, but they didn’t make the telescope.

India has ISRO
Japan has JAXA
The UAE have a space agency that even has a Mars mission running currently.
Same for China.
There's more I'm forgetting, but space stuff is not limited to Europe and the US.

If does have some relevance:
> Incidentally, Euclid was not supposed to launch aboard SpaceX at all. As late as February 2022, the mission was manifested upon an Arianespace Soyuz (provided by Russia) for a March 2023 launch in French Guiana. Russia's unsanctioned invasion of Ukraine forced a stop to most such space collaborations aside from the International Space Station, pushing Euclid's team to look for another ride to space.

Very true, although I assume that most or all of those listed have their own form of ITAR. Space (mostly defense) is inherently siloed to country borders.

Why write about launches? We could wait until it starts gathering data because that’s what really matters, right?
Given that it’s a rocket launch, crediting the company that did the launch makes some sense.

There's plenty of contractors working on space technology that would hire someone without citizenship, I'm sure.

I think that the UN had a program for facilitating smaller nations access to space. Currently, I'm finding only the outer space office there though.
Alternatively, many of the private space companies don't have citizenship requirements.
