I desperately want SpaceX to have some competition. Competition drives innovation up and prices down.

I guess this was a competition of sorts. SpaceX won.

In retrospect, I wish NASA had had the funding for a third option as well, like crewed Dream Chaser or something. Well, hindsight is always 20/20, I suppose.

NASA should put out an RFI now for the next gen of commercial crew going to commercial stations in 2030+. Given that Blue Origin is working on a capsule and Rocket Lab teased a capsule concept for Neutron, I'm not convinced that Dreamchaser would win, but it would be great to see another round of actual competition.
