Bloomberg: SpaceX aims to phase out Falcon 9
SpaceX has announced the end of bookings for private space missions using the Falcon 9 rocket after 2028. The company is focusing on developing the Starship rocket, which is still in testing, with the goal of gradually replacing Falcon 9. Additionally, they have ceased manufacturing some Falcon components, although they may continue using Falcon 9 for special missions for agencies like NASA and the Pentagon. Most of their plans now revolve around relying on Starship, which is facing delays and technical challenges. These developments have led to a 24% drop in the company’s stock price over the past month. This strategic shift is considered the most significant in years within the launch industry, as SpaceX aims to leverage Starship to establish data centers and explore the Moon and Mars—though no clear timeline has been confirmed for its success.
