#3 A reduction in Amerikonski alcohol and smokes? I doubt that will be a popular move at home.

#6 Does this mean we need to hitchhike home from the International Space Station? I know there have been some unmanned America resupply missions, but I thought the humans were carried by the Russians.

#7 Going to guess that the suits at ULA also expected swillary to win and also outlive McStain, thus ensuring RD-180s for as long as needed. I'm not a Musk fan, but Falcon sure seems to havr come along at the right time...

#9 Pretty sure the average Russian drinks Russian vodka. I wonder if they have ramped up production enough to keep everyone supplied. Couple years ago they had some kind of shortage...

#10 Atlas will be a huge hit.
Lockheed is supposed to have a bunch of engines stashed away but they need Vulcan with the BE-4 yesterday not in 2029-21.
ULA is screwed unless they can cook up something yesterday with the ATK engine for Atlas - It cough .. is supposed to be ... cough a drop in replacement... cough... I am betting maybe %10 it is.

The could back fill with F9/FH and certify quickly F9/FH for all USAF/NRO missions allowing reflight so they don't screw up SpaceX's switch to BFS/BFR Mars rocket.

F9 has over 50 missions under it's belt.
