At the end of the day competition for SpaceX is a good thing so we don't become reliant on a single company and the whims of the person that owns it.

I don't know enough about whether or not they really are behind or if this is just a bit of sensationalized reporting. But this is how it should have likely been from the beginning.

totally, i wish Blue Origin was neck and neck with SpaceX in terms of capabilities and rate of innovation. I'm pretty much a SpaceX superfan but they need the competition.

The article implies the competition is coming from China, who has multiple large projects on the go including one trying to clone Starship.
