If you collect worms from the local dirt, you can be sure they're already there.
And you can be sure it's the same species that's already loose in your area.

If the launch is this summer or even this year, no way. If the schedule slips again to a summer in some year, I'd bet on Starship being first.

China's relationship with Russia may have "no limits" but they'll insist on being paid with real money. Nothing personal, Vladimir Vladimrovitch, it's just business.

Let Apple cut off access at anytime and for any reason. In exchange for a full refund. With interest at the same reasonable and non-usurious rates that Apple charges on its credit cards.
