You think it's competition from old space firms that has motivated SpaceX to move quickly and become the world leader in mass to orbit?

It's a maniacal desire to achieve the goal of colonizing mars that motivates SpaceX to move quickly

Both things can be true at the same time, guy.

SpaceX can be motivated by maniacal desire to colonize Mars, and removing one of 3 competitors in the rocket launch space (by Elon Musk's unconstitutional moves, no less!) can be bad. How do you think Boeing got so crusty? I allege lack of competition is a key part of that.

Well then it’s good that SpaceX will be competing with China.

It has been shocking, but predictable, to see the GOP replace Democracy and Capitalism with Authoritarianism and Oligopoly as its twin polestars.
