Definitely. The fact that Amazon has to resort to SpaceX, and SpaceX doesn’t feel particularly threatened, shows who has the edge, and will probably keep it for decades.

Not only that but think of how much less expensive it is for SpaceX to launch satellites into space compared to other countries.

China and Russia get to watch the launches just like we all do but can’t duplicate the feat of launching, landing and reusing the boosters.

Since no one has been able duplicate what SpaceX has been doing for years proves how technically challenging it must be.
