SpaceX shift to Starlink, AI puts U.S. space strategy to the test

SpaceX is shifting its focus from being a key U.S. government space contractor to prioritising its own businesses, increasing pressure on NASA\'s crewed lunar exploration plans. While SpaceX continues existing contracts with NASA and the U.S. Space Force, it is less active in pursuing large new launch and spaceflight deals. NASA has grown heavily dependent on SpaceX, including for Artemis and a Starship-based crewed lunar lander targeted for early 2027.
