According to a report by Deep Tide TechFlow, on June 6, Elon Musk announced on the social platform X that the company would immediately begin decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft due to the president's threat to cancel government contracts with SpaceX.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is a key series of spacecraft developed by Elon Musk's company, starting in 2005, which includes the cargo version Dragon 1 and the crewed version Crew Dragon. The Dragon spacecraft can carry up to 7 passengers and features a modular design.
The Dragon spacecraft can transport over 6,000 pounds of scientific equipment and supplies to the space station on each mission, and it restored the United States' independent capability to send astronauts into space after the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011. The decommissioning of the Dragon spacecraft will severely impact the U.S. space program.
