This is really going to **** off a lot of other companies. And by
extension, a lot of lobbyists and congress-critters.

Well, who'd want to bet against SpaceX getting the job done?

NASA has seen how easily its money can disappear into a black hole. SLS
has been nothing but a money-pit, and Starliner still hasn't carried an
Astronaut.

This might encourage other companies to be more focussed on building
working space hardware, and less on an a drip-feed of NASA cash.
