Amazon does some good for once!

Companies like Amazon (regardless of the Blue Space link), alongside governments, who have a demand to send things into space, are critical because it means investors are willing to back competitors of SpaceX

The SpaceX near monopoly is not good for the planet

For once? I'm pretty sure Blue Origin is mostly funded with Amazon's profits. ;) I'm not sure who backs Rocket Lab, but they seem to be the third growing player.
