Musk isn't trying to make Dragon and Falcon 9 "just as good" as other existing, and upcoming, launch vehicles and spacecraft. Musk is trying to leapfrog them both in terms of cost and in terms of capabilities. Yes, he's going to do stuff far beyond what's been done before. Make economic, reusable rockets. Establish a dot com billionaire retirement community on Mars. And to demonstrate he's well on his way, what do his fan boys cite? He delivered a satellite to orbit. He delivered supplies to the I.S.S. and brought them back. Newflash: that's been done before.
