The only rival SpaceX needs to worry about

SpaceX are the top space company without a doubt, but nothing lasts forever... Will they be able to maintain their position? Or is there someone else that could challenge them?

I don't think they'll dominate forever, but for sure the next decades.

I'm betting on spacex, but this is a great run down of the possible future.

There is a company developing a rocket with Starship's price point, Stoke space. They are a startup, and they will probably be a couple years behind Starship, but they have already demonstrated some incredible technology and have a really well designed rocket concept. I am seriously voting for them to succeed because a race is usually a better incentive than a dream.

Where can we buy SpaceX stocks? The company will moon in the next years!

While SpaceX focuses on Mars Stoke Space will likely rise to take a big share of the earth orbit Market. Stoke Space's Nova is the best reusable design so far. Better than Starship. Elon would be smart to copy Stokes second stage design for flights to earth orbit. Just wait till Starship has a shuttle type heat shield failure and the Nova design is proved to be safer. I predict if anyone survives to challenge SpaceX it will likely be Stoke Space. Build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door. Could Stoke design type Starship get more fuel to earth orbit than Starship??? I don't know the answer to that question but I'm sure those starship heat tiles weigh a lot. Is Stokes doesn't survive the design concept will!!!!

This premise is wrong on every level. Space is a zero sum game according to you? Only one can lead? You miss the mark.
