SpaceX flies missions to the ISS.

...

Yep. SpaceShipOne flew before SpaceX, but they’ve been screwing up ever since then.

Your right. They lost a test pilot. How many pilots has SpaceX lost? Oh right... zero because they have launched ZERO.

Considering the original Rutan design made its test flight over 14 years ago, the big screwup was in failing to get a prototype of a profitable platform into test flight at least nine years ago. They'd have owned the suborbital thrill ride biz. The likely outcome now is they'll be a footnote, even if there's never BFR point-to-point service.
