So how would the world react if Bezos blows up?

Personally, I'm a SpaceX fan, despite the elitism... I just don't see Blue Origin reaching the same market dominance as SpaceX.

But honestly, it's going to be just like how we have different airlines and they all have differences in what they offer.

As you say, it will likely become like airlines. With competition, it might become possible for civilians to visit space in the distant future.

I'm imagining a podcast in 200 years where people discuss how weird it is that the popular airliner started off as a bookstore in it's early origins

That's a trip to think about. You could say the same thing about the largest smartphone software producer, it started out as a search website.
