Svmuu News: Regarding reports that “SpaceX will stop accepting commercial orders for the Falcon 9,” Futurum Equities’ chief market strategist wrote that if “Starship” has not successfully achieved commercialization by 2028, this shift could create a significant gap in rocket launch capacity, potentially benefiting second-tier launch service providers such as Rocket Lab (RKLB).
According to reports this morning, sources familiar with the matter revealed that SpaceX has begun turning down exclusive commercial launch orders for the Falcon 9 scheduled for after 2028 and has suspended new bookings for its Falcon 9 rideshare program to accelerate the transition to Starship.
