No, you're the idiot. Virgin Galactic is physically incapable of reaching any orbit, from any launch site, with any payload. What Virgin Galactic offers is a brief experience of zero gravity at an altitude of 50 miles. You can do that in a souped up MiG 25 for ten grand.

What SpaceX offers is a vehicle capable of putting 150 tons of whatever you want into LEO, and being fully reusable. Whether that's 150 tons of tourists, 150 tons of water, or 150 tons of space hentai doesn't matter to SpaceX.

Blue Origin is also incapable of reaching orbit right now, but they're building New Glenn and New Armstrong so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
