Needs updates[edit]

I was here to look for FH, but the article is stuck at the first booster landings. No reflights anywhere. Basically nothing about Crew Dragon. --mfb (talk) 23:24, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Public funds[edit]

Redundant article?[edit]

Is this standalone article really needed? It does not seem to add much to the base SpaceX article, and any extra details could be transferred back over. The history section of the SpaceX article is actually larger than this dedicated article currently, and this article does not seem to be maintained to the same standard as noted previously. - Indefensible (talk) 05:53, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
