Amazon's Project Kuiper Could Be Making Life Tough for SpaceX, Consultant Says
Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband satellite constellation plans (see 1904040034) seem to be making it more difficult for SpaceX to raise capital it needs for its Starlink broadband constellation, satellite consultant Tim Farrar blogged Monday. It's unknown whether Project Kuiper can derail SpaceX's satellite plans, which could in turn mean trouble for its rocket launch business as launch demand declines and its backlog shrinks, Farrar said. SpaceX didn't comment.
