Elon Musk's Threat to Decommission Dragon: Impact on NASA

Elon Musk threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft, a key asset for NASA's crew and cargo missions to the ISS and the Artemis lunar program. Although he later backed off, such a move could significantly impact U.S. space capabilities, as SpaceX has become the primary provider for crewed and cargo missions, and a break in the relationship could hinder future lunar and Mars exploration efforts.
