Good piece in the NY Times about Elon Musk’s but it only lightly mentions WHY he is in this dominant position - is the only one reliably launching rockets at scale into right now!

  • United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Vulcan Centaur is repeatedly delayed
  • Arianespace’s Ariane 6 has been delayed for years now

Neither may first launch until 2024, & then they have to grow to launch at the scale needed.
