According to BlockBeats, on June 6th, Musk issued a statement stating that "in light of the US President's announcement to cancel our government contract, SpaceX will immediately begin retiring its Dragon spacecraft. ''
BlockBeats note: The "Dragon" spacecraft is a reusable manned/cargo spacecraft developed by SpaceX for NASA and other clients. There are mainly two versions: Cargo Dragon, which is used to transport cargo to the International Space Station (ISS); Crew Dragon: used to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.
Currently, NASA relies heavily on SpaceX's Crew Dragon to send astronauts to the International Space Station. If retired, NASA will temporarily lack reliable domestic manned space capabilities in the United States and can only rely on Boeing Starliner (which has just entered service) or foreign space agencies. If the cargo mission is suspended, it may affect the supply and scientific experiments of the space station. Retirement will also affect the reputation and dominant position of the US commercial aerospace industry.
