SpaceX Makes Strategic Shift Away from Falcon 9 Amid Focus on Starship
SpaceX is reportedly turning away customers looking to book Falcon 9 launches beyond 2028, citing a significant saturation of its manifest. This decision has raised concerns among satellite operators and has led to a freeze on new bookings for Falcon 9 rideshares. The shift has caused a dip in stocks for companies associated with SpaceX, as retail traders express frustration over the impact on the space industry. The company appears to be making a major bet on its Starship program, believing it to be the future of space transportation.
