Why Is Elon Musk’s SpaceX Outclassing Competitors for NASA Contracts?

What other companies could potentially compete with SpaceX? Share them in the comments.

SpaceX recently secured an $843 million contract from NASA to build a modified Dragon spacecraft for deorbiting the International Space Station by 2030. This win highlights the dominance of SpaceX, especially as it faced only one serious competitor, Northrop Grumman. NASA's approach to fixed-price contracts aims to create a competitive commercial space market, but many companies struggle to compete with SpaceX. Traditional contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman are reconsidering their involvement in such contracts, while newer companies also find it challenging to survive in this environment.
