It's SpaceX at the top again.

Yep, their mass-to-orbit was insane this year. RocketLab is doing reasonably well despite a launch failure, Firefly is slowly but surely ramping up, and some of the old reliable launch providers like ULA and Northrop Grumman seem to be slowing down.

I'm interested to see what moves Blue Origin, Relativity, and Stoke make in the next couple years.

I wanted to complain about NG being 5th, but if nobody after them has ever made orbit, I guess I can't complain too much. 5th still feels too high for them, though.
