Great news! The more players we have in the commercial aerospace field the better. SpaceX has done some incredible things over the past decade, but their global dominance of the launch market is a major risk that's really not appreciated enough, especially now that it's owner has become explicitly partisan and seems to be quickly losing touch with reality. SpaceX is now responsible for roughly 90% of the launches from earth by mass, and that's just too much control of such an important job for any private company.
