Elon Musk has announced SpaceX’s grand plans for growth: in the coming years, the goal is to conduct several Starship launches per day. According to Musk, at this frequency, SpaceX would control about 99% of the world’s payload capacity, even if competitors triple their current rates. This publication was in response to a recent report presented by SpaceX board member Steve Jurvetson. In the third quarter, the company was responsible for 97% of all mass sent to orbit from the United States and 83% globally. Eight Chinese rockets accounted for only 8.6%.

If SpaceX achieves its plan for multiple daily launches, the space services market might, for the first time in history, be practically monopolized.
Previously, it was reported that the body of Ship 39 is nearly complete: engineers need only to install the lower wings before the spacecraft can proceed to testing.
