I believe SpaceX won atleast one contract against Blue Origin during an interim senators term who met with him when their application was awarded outstanding despite not meeting the level to qualify at all. The NASA director said he would hold SpaceX to deliver before releasing any further funds during Bidens term but he has been removed. Has any re-usability beyond what the space shuttle achieved actually been demonstrated?" This webpage reports one theory about a recent allegation about SpaceX's Starlink: Max Hunder, "Ukraine says Starlink's global outage hit its military communications", July 25, 20258:44 AM GMT+1, HTTPS://WWW.Reuters.com/business/media-telecom/ukraine-says-starlinks-global-outage-hit-its-military-communications-2025-07-25 A few minutes earlier than this webpage I heard a radio station report this theory and a rival theory. I looked at TV to find a (possible) report but I failed to find even a hint of a report shown by TV. I looked at Starlink.com but I failed to find a confession. Corinne Reichert, "Starlink Restored After Hours-Long Outage Took Down Elon Musk's Satellite Internet Service", July 24, 2025 4:55 p.m. PT, HTTPS://WWW.CNet.com/news-live/starlink-restored-after-hours-long-outage-took-down-elon-musks-satellite-internet-service reports that Starlink did confess on X. (X does not allow non-users to read.) That CNet webpage reports this same theory as Reuters without a rival theory. These outages do not happen to rival satellite Internet constellations. That CNet webpage reports that Starlink also uses T-Mobile for "texting". Deutsche Telekom AG owns T-Mobile. T-Systems GEI GmbH (Deutsche Telekom) uses Ada.
