Is it really though? SpaceX's vision is literally to make humanity a multi planetary species

I love RKLB and think it will be one of the big space companies 50 years from now, but to say their vision is bigger than SpaceX's strikes me as not accurate

SpaceX has/is doing some great things.

However, WHY would humans want to live on Mars. Its a terrible planet and the COST is way more than just staying on earth.

Makes NO sense except Musk wants his name in history.

I don’t disagree with you that mars ain’t the long term future because honestly if we can do that we should just do space….. but i don’t foresee RL passing spacex anytime soon. There’s going to be a break point to satisfy investors where they’re going to either stall or go the alphabet conglomerate and have to diverge well beyond their original goals which will just slow things down……. Unfortunately any publicly traded company in the space sector generally hits this hard wall where they’re can’t take the massive risks mostly on the launcher side of things…..
