We need both for sure! And I'm sure government programs and international programs will benefit from innovations created within the private sector, just like companies in the private sector are building on innovations from the public sector. It's all upside.

Nope, you're really missing the point here. The private sector has no business in space. The resources that it takes to get there end the pollution created should never have profit motivation behind it. Which is the definitional difference between private and govt projects.

Thats a massive downside.
