All my other "real" points have been covered by other users, but one other thing that SpaceX is doing is making space cool again. I've always found it interesting, and the launch vehicles technically incredible, but (as a university student) it's the first time in my life that current space-related events have been at the front of my mind. Various news outlets called the Falcon Heavy launch the most anticipated launch of the last decade, and I'd agree. In the lecture I was in during the launch, everyone was either watching it on their laptop, or looking over the shoulder of the person in front of them. People were shaking from excitement, and nearly tearing up as the FH lifted off.
