We need NASA for the big ticket basic science and exploration stuff. Outfits like SpaceX will concentrate on further commercializing space, something NASA cannot do.

11-14 in processing?

That's what fast iteration will do.
Here's a diagram with the status of all of them so far. https://twitter.com/brendan2908/status/1347834757359439876?s=20
