Paraterraforming vs. terraforming the Moon and Mars

Frankly, If I was setting up sps I wouldn't even consider the US as a
launch customer, nor even one of the first 5.
There would be too many competitors and too many hassles.
China, India, Indonesia and Japan on the other hand, would probably
welcome with open arms the company that successfully demonstrates an sps.
The best part is that the ground station is the low tech part, so you
wouldn't have to worry about any embargo nonsense as long as you launch
from an acceptable location.
