Buy a ****ing dictionary and look it up, Chimp****.

manufactu the making of goods or wares by manual labor or by machinery,
especially on a large scale

goods: articles of trade; wares; merchandise


Note nothing about 'selling' the results. You're done.

wares: articles of merchandise or manufacture; goods

merchandise: the manufactured goods bought and sold in any business

goods: articles of trade; wares; merchandise


Note that orbital services are 'wares'.


services: the performance of any duties or work for another

SpaceX is a delivery service who's business model is almost identical
to UPS and FedX, i.e. all three accept cargo to be delivered to a
specific location.


The difference is that SpaceX is also the truck manufacturer in your
inapt example.

Both FedEx and UPS use highly customized COTS delivery vehicles.

As there are no COTS orbital delivery vehicles (at the present time),
SpaceX has little choice in the matter.

But they are still nothing more than a freight delivery service.
