    > In February, Musk announced that the company had shifted its focus from Mars to the much closer lunar surface, which also happens to be a more useful place to manufacture orbital data centres.

    > Last week it emerged that SpaceX has stopped bidding for commercial Falcon 9 launches, allowing only US government customers for the rocket. And Gwynne Shotwell signalled last week in Paris that Crew Dragon, the only operational crew vehicle for routine missions for Nasa, will eventually be wound down.

    Classic clickbait. They are retiring Falcon 9 as they plan to replace it with Starship (which BTW will eventually take astronauts to the moon). And Mars is soon to follow.

      Let's get Starship consistently into orbit before aiming at the Moon or Mars.
