All the same FUD spoken during the early days of SpaceX. It was correct in most cases; Bigelow, Blue Origin, Xcor are floundering, SpaceX is the exception. I just hope we have more entrants in this industry to increase the odds of success.

Space access never had the cost pressures of passenger air transport. It's not much easier than what Virgin Galactic is trying to do.

Blue Origin seems to be doing OK so far; they've just grown far slower than SpaceX due to not starting out with commercial flights.

SpaceX doesn't need to compete in a consumer market, though.
