The company is planning ways to meet the energy and computing needs of AI, even as the company mulls a merger with xAI.
By Joey Roulette Feb 3 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's SpaceX has paused flights of its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket over an unspecified issue that its second stage experienced after successfully deploying Starlink satellites into orbit on Monday,
The launch on Monday (Feb. 2, Groundhog Day) began at Space Launch Complex 4 East from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Just like Punxsutawney Phil this year, the rocket "saw" its shadow, flying into a sunny blue sky at 10:47 a.m. EDT (1547 GMT or 7:47 a.m. PDT local time).
Proposal would speed federal approval of new satellites as SpaceX seeks to build a large constellation of AI data satellites.
