Finally! While I wish SpaceX (and Blue Origin) well, affordable access to space (thanks to reusable rockets) is far too important to depend on a single (or 2) companies. Also really hope it makes ESA/Arienespace/european companies finally wake up and start crash program to get a European sovereign reusable launcher ASAP.
