Musk says SpaceX will retire Dragon spacecraft amid bitter Trump dispute
Elon Musk announced that SpaceX will retire its Dragon spacecraft—the same vehicle NASA depends on to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station—amid a heated public feud with Donald Trump. The move comes as their war of words escalates, with Musk even calling for Trump’s impeachment.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just billionaire drama—it could have real consequences for NASA and space exploration. If SpaceX phases out Dragon without a clear replacement, it might disrupt crewed missions to the ISS, leaving NASA scrambling for alternatives. The personal clash between Musk and Trump is spilling into policy and tech, which is never a good sign.

Editor’s Note: Food isn’t just a local issue—when droughts hit key growing regions, the ripple effects are felt globally.
