Just the changing of cost structure forced upon you by the adapt or die that sometimes happens in the marketplace? or were there other parts that required more explanation on my part.

That changing of the cost structure exactly.

It is much harder than it looks like to do, and is exactly the sort of change that existing industries routinely fail to do, leading to their demise.

I believe that in 20 years SpaceX will have serious competition. I'm pretty sure it won't be Boeing or Lockheed-Martin.
