SpaceX now fundamentally an "infrastructure company," senior official says

SpaceX, once known primarily for developing advanced rockets, is shifting its focus to become an infrastructure company, according to a senior official. At the recent UP Summit conference in Florida, Kiko Dontchev, SpaceX's vice president of launch, made revealing comments about the company's evolving priorities. While the Falcon 9 rocket has dominated global launches for the past decade, Dontchev emphasized that SpaceX is fundamentally an infrastructure company now.

This transformation is evident in their projects on Earth, low Earth orbit, and eventually the Moon and Mars.
