> There's really only one space company in the US today

This is just categorically false. There are many space companies. Launch isn't the only thing that happening in space.

But yes, SpaceX in terms of launch and operational sats dwarfs everybody to a degree that is unprecedented.

But there is a lot of money flowing in and many former SpaceXers have created lots of companies. Rocket companies, RocketLab, Firefly, Relativity, ABL. Lunar companies like Astrobotics. Transport companies like Impulse Space.
