《Ars Technica》于2026年10月29日报道，SpaceX已从依赖美国政府合同转变为不可或缺的承包商，如今却在除Starshield等数据服务外，从NASA和军方发射业务中撤回。
SpaceX Pulls Back From NASA and Pentagon Launch Contracts, Signaling Partial Breakup Ars Technica reported on October 29, 2026, that SpaceX has shifted from depending on U.S. government contracts to becoming an indispensable contractor now pulling back from NASA and military launch business outside data services like Starshield.
文章援引消息称，SpaceX告知NASA将在2030年或之前停止执行“龙”飞船载人飞行任务，2028年后停止商业“猎鹰9号”火箭销售，可能需要另一种火箭执行2030年后的轨道离脱飞行器任务，拒绝了三份2020年代末的太空军发射合同，并拒绝为商业月球有效载荷服务（CLPS）着陆器提供发射服务。
The article cites SpaceX telling NASA it will stop flying Crew Dragon by or before 2030, halting commercial Falcon 9 sales after 2028, possibly requiring another rocket for the post-2030 Deorbit Vehicle, declining three late-2020s Space Force launch contracts, and refusing launch services for Commercial Lunar Payload Services landers.
