The space-faring firm has been inviting consumers to sign up for its Uber-like ridesharing service. //
On Wednesday, the space-faring firm announced via Twitter that over 100 spacecraft have signed up to use the service:
"More than 100 spacecraft have been signed up to fly on Falcon 9 since we launched the rideshare program. Small satellite operators can book their ride to orbit online"
The landmark, which comes fewer than seven days after its first ridesharing mission debuted, suggests the program has received a warm reception. SpaceX first announced the SmallSat Rideshare Program back in August 2019, as a way of sending up payloads on other missions rather than scheduling an entire mission just for one payload. Think of something like UberPool, where the firm groups together suitable passengers, and that gives a good approximation.
