Elon Musk called the transportation secretary ‘Sean Dummy’ on X Tuesday, after Duffy suggested NASA may sideline SpaceX from its moon mission.
While SpaceX has already proved that it can land the first-stage Super Heavy booster back at its Starbase site in southern Texas, the 11th flight will see it attempt a soft, controlled landing on water again, a feat that it achieved off the Texas coast in the 10th flight, among others.
SpaceX signed the nearly $3 billion government contract in 2021. It helped solidify the fledgling company as a powerhouse in space travel as the country with the most advanced space program gave it the stamp of approval. Since then, SpaceX’s valuation has ballooned from $100 billion to reports of over $400 billion.
SpaceX's next version of Starship will be even bigger and more advanced than any iteration that has already launched 11 times from South Texas.
