    Elon likes them. He is of the mindset that the only way space will ever succeed is with competition. And both of them love attention from the rocket enthusiast community, unlike others who don't seem enthused at all, let alone with the community.

    No single company can or even should hold all the marbles but part of the process of creating new industry is weeding out the weaklings. Boeing has grown too complacent in its security.

    I think the worst part about it is, with the added competition, Boeing still isn't showing any urgency (at least any that's perceivable) in it's operations. No increased pace or PR saying they welcome the competition and want to beat SpaceX at the game.

    Or, at least while SpaceX has so many NASA contracts and has flight certs already.
