I wish I had the power to turn that into a competition, but I don't think they need me for that :) Jocking aside, I don't think there can only be one. I am comparing BO and SpaceX the same way I'd compare google and apple. In the same industry but not doing exactly the same thing. And when Apple tried to go on one of Google's turf with maps, they sucked. When Google tried to go do phones, at first they sucked. Comparison is natural and welcome. Here, it feels to me that BO is putting themselves up for comparison for no reason. As far as the positive direction of spaceflight, I think that transparency is key. Space exploration needs more accountability and trust that ever has been available before _in_any_industry_ever_. And there, so far SpaceX is winning hands down, including versus the old players (soyouz, ariane, ULA...). When SpaceX says "one of our struts was structurally deficient, broke down, made the rocket lose equilibrium and ultimately explode", they're also telling their competitors "Watch this. We've learned it the hard way.". Same with fog icing the leg lock. In the grand scheme of things they are making space safer, and not only for their customers. I only see bragging and borderline (note the "borderline") bullying on BO's side
