> Slow and steady wins the race.

Not if it's a 100m or 200m sprint. Try that and you'll finish dead last.

If SpaceX had gone with slow and steady, it would have merely given their monopolistic competition - competition particularly well connected in DC - that much more time to try to wipe them out using their preferred approach of avoiding competition via government protection.

Blue Origin may yet make something of itself via slow and steady pacing (which Bezos can afford), however it's not winning the race.
