Spacex may be the most important company on the planet. What greater goal is there than expanding humanity to the stars!

Is this rhetorical? Feeding the hungry. Healing the sick. Educating the masses. Etc, etc.

I'm a big space fan, don't get me wrong. But your exuberance uh, needs tempering.

We have about 600 million years before we'd need to perform serious planetary engineering to remain on Earth and about a billion years before humanity must leave Earth to survive.

Right now, the greatest threat to our survival and prosperity is humanity itself.

Ok, but most of Blue Origins plans rely on off planet infrastructure so SpaceX can have earth and Blue Origin the rest of space.
