What U.S. Space Force just Did with SpaceX Starship Shocked the entire Industry...
SpaceX has just secured a major contract with the United States Space Force, alongside its competitors Blue Origin and ULA.
More importantly, this marks the official victory and growing dominance of SpaceX in this critical market.
Meanwhile, the Crew Dragon Fremont 2 mission has successfully returned, wrapping up a remarkable journey and setting multiple new records.
Let’s dive into all the details on today’s episode of Great SpaceX.

The space race between private organizations is fiercely competitive across multiple sectors, but perhaps none are as financially significant or strategically crucial as the market for launching military and government payloads. This area not only carries prestige and national security importance, but also enormous contract value—making it a key battleground for space launch providers.
One of the clearest examples of this competition is the U.S. Space Force’s National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program. Currently in its second phase, the program has involved two major players: SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA). ULA, with its longstanding history in aerospace, initially held a dominant share of the launch manifest—60%—while SpaceX was awarded the remaining 40%. However, that gap has noticeably narrowed over time. The latest figures show ULA with 54% and SpaceX close behind at 46%, reflecting a steady shift in confidence and performance.

The reason for this shift becomes evident when examining each company’s current trajectory. ULA has been in a period of transition, facing delays with its new Vulcan Centaur rocket. These delays have hampered their ability to fulfill their NSSL commitments efficiently. On the other hand, SpaceX, armed with its highly reliable Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy vehicles, has continued to demonstrate excellence in mission success, reusability, and turnaround time. In fact, it’s no exaggeration to say that SpaceX is now outperforming ULA even within what was once considered ULA’s strongest domain.
