I'm largely talking about setting up a space industry that includes human spaceflight independent of government spending which is what you need for it to really take off because unless it's specifically designed to be impossible to kill like the SLS other missions get killed and messed with as each new admin or congress decides it's an easy place to make a mark. There's a lot up there but it's still not that big and there's limited space for new arrivals. SpaceX largely exists because of the government contracts to launch to the ISS and for various NRO launches there's not enough public need for launches alone to sustain a rocket industry is what I mean. Especially for human launches, the only reason to have a human rated orbital capsule is to service the ISS.
