My take is a little bit different from what I've read so far. SpaceX just completed a truly history all-civilian, all-non-astronaut, three day orbital flight at an altitude above the ISS. SpaceX also secured Artemis mission contracts. They go to space all the time and continue to optimize their reusable orbital-class systems.
the Blue Origin and Virgin offerings are not even in the same class.
And Blue Origin/Bezos is struggling to remain relevant. I see the Shatner thing purely as a publicity stunt. I also see it as having no real value whatsoever. Just my opinion.
On top of that, they raised over $200MM for St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
The SpaceX Netflix documentary on the Inspiration4 mission is worth watching.
Here's the flight's website:
