Alt accounts that are also me:
most of the research seems to be on stuff that will be used by corporations (not affordable for common people)
To be fair, I think that’s kind of always been the case for cutting-edge computer research. The first computers were the size of a room or a small building, and only universities, governments, and large companies could afford to have one. Over time, hardware becomes smaller, faster, and cheaper, and now most people have a computer in their pocket.
Ah, you’ve watched the Star Wars Holiday Special, I gather… some things cannot be unseen.

Pretty good summary. I’ll add a couple corrections:
This usually involves liquid oxygen. That’s heavy and under pressure
The critical point of oxygen is below room temperature, meaning it is not possible to keep oxygen liquid using pressure alone. For rockets, liquid oxygen is typically loaded within hours or minutes prior to launch, before it has a chance to warm up and boil off.
winning solution that could escape earth’s gravity well was the Falcon 9. A multi-stage rocket with different fuels for different stages
Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket, but it uses the same propellants (kerosene and liquid oxygen) on both stages.
Also, I’m not sure if I would call the Falcon 9 the winning solution, just the “winningest” solution so far. SpaceX’s Starship, Stoke Space’s Nova, and any of the upcoming Falcon 9 clones have the potential to improve on the Falcon 9 design or solve the challenge of reusability in slightly different ways.

Fun fact: The Imperial March does not play during this scene, or indeed any scene in this movie (Star Wars). The Imperial March would not appear until The Empire Strikes Back.

These two are kind of at odds with each other. Quantum effects are easily observable at the small scale, but rapidly become negligible on the macroscopic scale.

Ask George Lucas.
This is how Anakin’s force ghost looked in theatres in 1983:
Then Darth Lucas decided to alter the movies in the 1990s and 2000s.
“I am altering the movies. Pray I don’t alter them any further.”
Is it? It’s not like he had many opportunities after, on account of, y’know, being on the Death Star when it blew up.
“Evacuate? In our moment of triumph?”
