> SpaceX’s near-total control over the rocket launch business
Really? There are quite a few launch providers, ranging from Boeing to Airbus to Blue Origin, with plenty of others chasing the same goal.
"Monopoly" is rapidly coming to merely be defined as "market leader."
- kelnos 5y agoYeah, agreed. SpaceX only "feels" like a monopoly because they get the most press, and because they seem to be so far ahead of their competitors, especially when considering the new hotness of low cost and high reusability.
- MattGaiser 5y agoThey weren’t even first to have launch capabilities. Not even close. SpaceX shouldn’t exist except that Boeing is sloppy.
