SpaceX livestreams moving off YouTube to X<\/h2>\n

Over the weekend the expected streams of SpaceX\u2019s Starlink Group 6-12 and the splashdown of Crew-6, a crew rotation mission to the ISS through NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program, were removed from YouTube. SpaceX just finished its coverage of Crew-6\u2019s undocking and departure of the ISS on both X and YouTube. The company also performed a livestream of its launch of in-house designed satellites for the Space Development Agency the day before, so seeing future streams removed was unexpected.<\/p>\n

SpaceX has been increasing its production on X since Musk\u2019s acquisition of the site. In July we saw the company provide multiple streams of different angles of a Starlink launch out of Vandenberg Space Force Base in California \u2013 hopefully we\u2019ll see that return more often. We\u2019ve also seen Starlink news moved to its own dedicated account, with short lived press releases to the media ended in favor of posts on the official account.<\/p>\n

SpaceX has also begun ending its support of competing social media platforms. To my knowledge SpaceX has never had a Facebook page but has had Instagram, its last post was about the launch of Starlink Group 6-11 a week ago. The company\u2019s Flickr page, a once great asset for the media has gone dark since a few days before SpaceX\u2019s first Starship flight test in April. LinkedIn has only been use as a recruiting tool with extremely sporadic posts, and of course SpaceX never joined Instagram\u2019s Threads.<\/p>\n
