Space X and Scaled Composites are not the only ones working toward getting into space and to the space station.
Sierra Nevada Corporation wants to get this thing spaceworthy by 2017-18 (they might want to add wheels to the front landing gear)

And there’s Blue Origin, which, I believe, has had some trouble, but they are funded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, so that might help them stay in the game long enough to work the kinks out.

Isn't the plan for Dream Chaser to launch atop an Atlas 5?
i.e.- on Russian engines.
