The message is not just that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education is necessary, but also that this achievement by a private company cost just a fraction of NASA's budget in money and time. Governments are great at funding and carrying out research, but competitive private companies motivated by profit and glory tend to be more efficient and speedier in applying the results.
它向人们宣告不仅科学、技术、工程和数学（合成STEM）教育很有必要，而且私营公司的这项成果在耗费的金钱和时间上只占宇航局预算的一个零头。 政府的优势在于资助和开展研究，而受利润和荣耀驱动的竞争性私营企业一般在应用成果时更迅速、也更有效。
