Elon Musk’s feud with Trump puts $22B SpaceX contracts at risk; what it means for US space future

Elon Musk’s feud with Trump puts $22B SpaceX contracts at risk; what it means for US space future
Elon Musk’s public spat with former President Donald Trump is causing headaches for SpaceX, putting $22 billion in government contracts on shaky ground. If the feud escalates, it could delay key U.S. space missions, drive up costs, and even weaken America’s competitive edge in space. The bigger issue? SpaceX has become so central to U.S. space operations that any disruption could leave NASA and the Pentagon scrambling for alternatives—which, right now, are slim.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about billionaire egos—it’s about real risks to national space ambitions. SpaceX handles everything from NASA astronaut launches to military satellites, and if political drama starts messing with contracts, the U.S. could fall behind in the global space race. It’s a reminder that relying too heavily on one company, no matter how innovative, comes with vulnerabilities.

SpaceX fires up Super Heavy booster ahead of Starship's 10th test flight (video)
positiveScience
SpaceX just fired up the massive Super Heavy booster in a key pre-launch test, gearing up for Starship’s 10th test flight. The static-fire test—basically revving the engines while staying grounded—is a routine but crucial step to check everything’s working before the real deal.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another rocket test—Starship is SpaceX’s moonshot (literally) for future Mars missions and heavy-duty space travel. Each test flight, even the explosive failures, teaches them something new. With regulators and competitors watching closely, progress here could speed up humanity’s push deeper into space. Plus, who doesn’t love watching giant rockets light up the sky?

It's been nearly a century since Chicago saw a powerful dust storm like this (photos)
negativeScience
Chicago just experienced its most intense dust storm in almost 100 years, with striking satellite images showing the massive cloud of dust rolling over the city like something out of an old disaster film. It’s the kind of weather event that makes you pause—both for its sheer scale and how rarely it happens.
Editor’s Note: While dust storms aren’t unheard of in drier regions, seeing one this severe in a major urban area like Chicago is jarring. It’s a reminder that extreme weather isn’t just happening "somewhere else"—and with shifting climate patterns, even historically rare events might start showing up in unexpected places. Plus, those satellite photos? They’re not just dramatic—they help scientists understand how these storms form and what cities might face in the future.
