I understand that people are mad at Musk, but despite that I can not really see any other organisations that have a potential of moving space exploration further. It just feels bad to me, I wanted Starship to happen

I wanted Starship to happen too. Wanted. Not anymore. And I suspect a similar change happened among Musk's engineers. They're gonna bleed him dry and let someone else take the lead.

It's not even remotely close to what SpaceX accomplished ~10 years ago.
