AI summary iconSummary
SpaceX has ceased accepting Falcon 9 orders beyond 2028 and paused new rideshare mission reservations, shifting its focus to Starship. The company has also halted production of certain non-reusable Falcon components, though it will continue using Falcon 9 for military and NASA missions. New token listings and on-chain developments indicate rising interest in space-related blockchain projects. The plan remains adaptable in case Starship development slows.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to insiders, SpaceX has begun rejecting exclusive commercial Falcon 9 launch orders for 2028 and beyond, and has paused accepting new reservations for its Falcon 9 rideshare program to accelerate the transition to Starship.

In addition, SpaceX has ceased production of certain non-reusable components of the Falcon series, but is expected to continue using Falcon 9 for launch missions for the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA. According to sources familiar with the matter, if the subsequent development of Starship falls short of expectations, the related plans may still be adjusted. (Bloomberg)
