SpaceX President and Chief Operation Officer Gwynne Shotwell speaks during the NASA Commercial Crew Program (CCP) astronaut visit at the SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, U.S., on Monday, Aug. 13, 2018.
… It keeps us tight; it keeps us very focused," SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell said, speaking at the 2024 Baron Investment Conference in New York.
The next closest U.S. rocket company, Rocket Lab , has launched to orbit 12 times this year, with others in the single digits.
And SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet network is now serving almost 5 million customers, Shotwell said.
With nearly 7,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, SpaceX has expanded Starlink's product offerings from consumers into enterprise markets such as aviation and maritime.
