However, a massive conflict got in the way of this because of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, with the world denouncing their actions and boycotting their services. Russia also canceled all of its spaceflights and contracts then, initially threatening to pull out of the ISS, with OneWeb's commissioned launch also affected. SpaceX, Starlink, and its Rivalries SpaceX and Starlink may be known as one the most prominent space companies that offer a variety of services including spaceflights, contract works for space, internet satellites, and private cosmic missions. Indeed, Elon Musk's companies are some of the highly regarded for their numerous success in the field, one that delivers for its clients and itself. However, the tech billionaire's companies are met with rivalries and competitors in the market and includes the likes of OneWeb, Amazon and Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and other names in the industry. OneWeb is one of the most famous names in the satellite internet business too, especially as it promises fast speeds even without thousands of satellites launched toward the LEO. Still, back in March, Musk promised to do the right thing for its rival and be the bigger person in this rivalry as it took on the responsibility to bring OneWeb satellites to orbit safely. The contract mission for SpaceX and OneWeb is now nearing its completion as SpaceX finished its first stage launch with the Falcon 9 and recently revealed that the satellite deployment already started. Russia's actions against Ukraine and the world highly affected OneWeb's rivalry with SpaceX, one where previous feuds were set aside to have this service up and running.
