Will Blue Origin ever be able to produce a quality showcase animation?

>has already landed multiple Falcon 9 first stages, both on drone ships and at the launch site
>has already flown multiple Dragon capsules to the ISS
>has already launched many commercial payloads into orbit
>currently getting Falcon Heavy ready to launch later this year
>currently developing a manned capsule capable of propulsive landing
>currently well into the development of the Raptor methalox FFSC engine
>currently well into the development of the ITS carbon composite tank technology
>Bezos' pet rocket """"company"""" announces their next project, a rocket that copycats the Falcon 9
>but it can also have TWO upper stages!
I'm sure Musk is quaking in his boots.

Bezos has 60 B net worth that will go toward New Armstrong that will rival ITS in 2020s unless Musk plans work out in Elon Time
Blue will crush SpaceX over the long term because they can focus on r&d and not worry about cash flow.

This whole thing is just a sad circlejerk.
We only need so many satellites in orbit, and the ISS only needs so much supplies at a time. The contracts, and therefor theoretical private market, is extremely small.
You simply can't make profit going into space. This entire fake private space competition relies entirely on government launch contracts. Only Elon's money runs out we will be right back where we started. Virgin dropped out as soon as they realized a market didn't exist.

Under rated post.
Far enough in the future, there will be ample opportunities to make vast profits in space exploitation, but we are nowhere near that point yet.
Nathaniel Hall
Not even in the future. There is nothing of value in space that we need on Earth that isn't already here on Earth. There's no oil on Mars.

They're only looking at sub-orbital tourism anyway, and going at it in an incredibly roundabout way as well.
Elon plans to make big money in space by building a huge constellation of satellites in LEO that will provide high speed internet access across the entire globe. He isn't just taking an 'If I build it, they will come' attitude. Think of how many people would jump at the chance to get away from Comcast forever.
