> Blue Origin, which I personally consider to be a vanity project

I could see an argument for that given the time/resources invested compared to the results but ULA's future and a large fraction of Project Kupier's planned launches are tied to the success of the BE-4 so they do have immediate ambitions beyond suborbital tourist hops.

That lack of immediate ambition is exactly the problem and why I don't think they'll make it. You either go all in on something like this or you might as well not play.

The conventional expression is "stay hungry". Blue Origin is approximately the opposite of that adage. Bezos specifically said it would be chill.
