Not sure why the parent is being downvoted. Nobody in the comments seem to say anything else than "because Starlink" and a vague "new space startups". I'm a simple retail investor in SpaceX and love it just for Starlink and AI and then it's nice that they'll take humanity to Mars etc, but I was always dubious about how much money and growth would be in generic space cargo business and I fear if NASA stops having big contracts for them then it's a big impact on that side of the business. Would love to hear others' point of view on that! (one angle might be that they can use the current gravy train of NASA and Starlink and what not to invest in rapidly reusable rockets and once they're an order of magnitude cheaper then the future space cargo business doesn't have to be so large?)
