Rocket Report: SpaceX says no thanks to military launches; Spanish rocket nearly ready

SpaceX has decided not to pursue military launch contracts, citing the company's desire for Canada to develop its own space launch capabilities. This decision follows a recent announcement from the Canadian government that a domestic launch vehicle program is nearing completion. The program, called the Canadian Advanced Research and Development Program (CARDP), is being led by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The CARDP is expected to be completed in the near future, with a Spanish rocket, the Ariane 6, also nearing readiness for use.
