    New Glenn wont really be competing with starship if they truly make it rapidly and fully reusable. Its gonna be a massive shift in access to space.

    Until thats a proven capability though, then ya theyll be competing.

    If starship works, New Glenn will likely only get launches as it’ll be imperative to still fund other space programs so there are backups and so they can improve and catch up.

    Edit: and any non US country wanting to avoid a US launch partner will be avoiding both of them, so they wont compete that way either.
