> they are certainly against billionaires and corporations with large market caps True, but maybe we're talking about different definitions of "large market caps". Lately I'm seriously impressed by the apparent shortsightedness of VCs who aren't able to find and fund a reasonable SpaceX competitor. A few companies make promising moves - Orbital, Sierra Nevada, Rocket Lab, Masten Space - but all achievements are just too modest. One would think that 17 years after X Prize was won, VCs would be more fearful of missing out. And of course it's hard to believe that the deficit on the founders' side - while externally impressive, SpaceX mostly does something well known to the modern space engineers, with perhaps Starlink being the largest "side application". Casey Handmers, https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/ https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/ , tries to bring attention to the achievements, but maybe stopping a bit short when not discussing possible alternatives of the next years or decades. Of course, one may wonder what SpaceX would do next - by the time Starship lands first time successfully on Mars, it could be seen roughly as the first flight of Falcon Heavy or first landing of Falcon-9 booster.
