I don't understand why you're drawing attention to their failure, it doesn't mean anything. Failure by anyone on the first time of anything is understandable.

But I'm interested to know what the extensive competition for domestic heavy lift rockets consists of, especially reusable ones with a low cost. SpaceX of course, but Boeing is out to lunch.

New Glenn, Vulcan and Falcon Heavy/Starship.

There'll be a Chinese option shortly for those that are truly launcher-agnostic.
