Good god. SpaceX is doing "more and cheaper satellite launches", as you so dismiss them, on a scale and at a cost utterly unachievable by anyone else today. Not Russia, despite 65 years of spaceflight experience and an entire nation state's resources. Not ESA, despite resources of dozens of the wealthiest and most sophisticated nations on Earth. Not NASA itself.
