SpaceX VP says company now 'fundamentally an infrastructure company'
Shift accelerated as SpaceX pivoted to data and AI; Falcon 9 firmly on road to retirement
SpaceX's vice president of launch, Kiko Dontchev, said the company remains a rocket company but is fundamentally an 'infrastructure company,' building on the ground, in low Earth orbit, soon on the Moon, and eventually Mars. Speaking at the UP.Summit conference in Florida last week, Dontchev said the change has accelerated over the last 18 months as the company has pivoted to data and artificial intelligence.
