The U.S. government contacts SpaceX competitors to seek alternative rocket and spacecraft solutions.

The Washington Post, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that after Trump’s quarrel with Musk, representatives of NASA and the Pentagon called on Space X’s competitors to speed up the development of alternative rockets and spacecraft. "Government officials have contacted at least three commercial space companies: Rocket Lab (Rocket Lab), Stoke Space Technologies (Stoke Space) and Blue Origin (Blue Origin), find out the status of their rockets and when they can be used for government missions. Musk previously said that the flight of the Dragon spacecraft may be stopped. This will make it impossible for NASA to get astronauts to and from the ISS. Musk later dropped the threat. However, his remarks raised concerns among NASA officials who are handing over the safety of astronauts to Space X, and the Pentagon also relies heavily on the company to launch its critical satellites.
