Elon Musk‘s SpaceX has reportedly been awarded five out of seven crucial military missions by the U.S. Space Force, leaving behind Jeff Bezos‘ Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance (ULA). The U.S. Space Force has assigned five out of seven critical military missions for the upcoming fiscal year to SpaceX, despite Musk’s public fallout with U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year, reported Space News on Friday. This decision will bring a $714 million windfall to SpaceX, highlighting the company’s continued dominance in securing Pentagon space contracts.
