A lot of SpaceX fans would disagree with having Boeing and Lockheed on the list because they see them as old space, locked into the failing model of bloated cost plus contracts for wasteful expendable rockets that’s now doomed.
I’m a SpaceX fan too, but if SpaceX cut costs to orbit by 10x or 100x someone is going to need to manufacture all the huge, powerful satellites, space stations, Mars habitats, probes and resource utilisation gear SpaceX will be launching. That’s Boeing and Lockheed, they have a crapton of experience making commercial and scientific space hardware. They’ll make a fortune.
