On the plus side, Starlink, the company’s satellite Internet service, has surpassed 1 million subscribers, providing a lifeline for users in Ukraine, which has suffered infrastructure disruptions after the Russian invasion. SpaceX has also successfully launched his 60 reusable rockets in one year through the Falcon program.

The company currently continues development of the Starship and Super Heavy rockets at its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. It’s not clear when the company will move to the next step of the program. This includes orbital launch tests of these large rockets.

Just as Musk has repeatedly listened to geopolitical issues on Twitter, NASA administrator Bill Nelson recently told SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell that he would be the new owner and CEO of Twitter. I asked if SpaceX’s “distraction” could affect its work with the space agency. NBC News reported. Nelson said Shotwell reassured him otherwise.

NASA is currently considering whether SpaceX can help rescue residents of the International Space Station, including one astronaut and two from Russia’s Roscomos. According to CNETRussia’s Soyuz capsule suffered a coolant leak in December, prompting officials to determine if the spacecraft could safely bring the crew home, or if emergency measures should be taken instead. An investigation is in progress.
