Nowadays, private space company really succeeded and manufactures pretty good technology and space vehicle. What do you think is the most advanced private space company ( except Space X ) at the present time?

Blue Origin, without a doubt. They may be going slower than SpaceX, but their success to failure ratio is unmatched.

"We are not in a race, and there will be many players in this human endeavor to go to space to benefit Earth. Blue's part in this journey is building a road to space with our reusable launch vehicles, so our children can build the future. We will go about this step by step because it is an illusion that skipping steps gets us there faster. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."

I recomend you to havea look at the small but promising aerospace company froma Scotland which manufactures rather good and interesting projects.
I think that people from young startups aspire to change our world and will succeed. I won't be surprised if Skyrora collaborates with NASA or SpaceX one day.

Completely disagree. They've been around longer than SpaceX and have yet to put an ounce in orbit. They might come from behind but they seem to be largely stuck in the mud.

Off cource it`s not so advanced like Space X and does not so well in the space exploration area but still, Blue Origin has great spacecrafts and consepts that worth attention. I agree that after Space X it`s the second great private space company

I hope some startups start to merge. Companies must exchange experiences, ideas, etc. Then we will really get something great.
