It isn't a question of countries it is a question of being able to launch someone and bring them home. Prior to SpaceX the only two countries that had this capability were Russia and China. It is impressive that a company, not a country now also has that capability. Put another way, for the last 10 years if a US Person wanted to go up to the ISS they would have to buy a ticket on a Russian Soyuz, now they have a choice.
