SpaceX to Stop Making Its Crew Dragon Capsule—Here Are the Records It Broke

SpaceX is going to cease production of its Crew Dragon human spaceflight capsule, capping its existing fleet at four.

The company's president Gwynne Shotwell confirmed the move in a statement to Reuters on Monday. She said SpaceX was in the process of finishing its final capsule, after which it would only be manufacturing components so that existing ones can be refurbished.

The move comes as SpaceX focuses on its Starship rocket—an upcoming spacecraft that is at the heart of SpaceX's ambitions of taking astronauts to the moon and Mars.
