Friendly reminder, starship will be nearly 3 times larger inside than Skylab, and 2.4m diameter wider than skylabs 6.6m
And superheavy will be able to launch inflatable modules that could be as large as 20-50m

They literally just gutted the upper stage, and built a space station inside of it, pretty crazy to think the lower stages were like 10m in diameter

New Glenn might kill Ariane 5/6, and take over the medium sized to small sized payload to LEO, due to its dual payload fairing if it ever launches,
Theoretically Bezos could use the power of AWS to cut launch costs absurdly low to kill any competitor, even if new Glenn doesn't perform up to par with what they say
But, they may not launch it next year, and once they finally launch it, they'll probably take like 4-5 years to actually start selling launches, like new Sheppard lmao
