I honestly think they would, if Blue Origin actually did anything worth cheering. Their best achievement so far is stalling ULA's Vulcan Centaur for years. By the time it flies it will most likely be utterly obsolete, because Blue Origin has fumbled the BE-4 severely. Vulcan Centaur was supposed to fly in 2019 but Blue Origin only delivered some engines about a few weeks ago. They're years late and it's hurting ULA badly. Because of Blue Origin, SpaceX's Starship will probably fly before Vulcan Centaur. Vulcan Centaur is meant to be a HLV marginally more performant than Falcon 9, but Starship should wipe the floor with both.
