Botswana’s President, Duma Gideon Boko, attended the launch of BOTSAT-1 as part of his working visit to the United States of America, accompanied by BIUST Vice Chancellor Professor Totolo and other senior government officials. The President also visited various sites such as the Space X Rocket Production and Starlink Mini Production Facilities, signalling future increased collaborations with the company. The launch of BOTSAT-1 as the country’s first satellite demonstrates its space capabilities and positions Botswana to fully utilise space as a resource for its national development. 

This is awesome, and probably something other countries could never dream about unless the launch was privatized. Say what you want about Elon ( and there is a lot to say ) but as for moving space forward for pretty much the entire world, SpaceX remains amazing.
