    The summary says "SpaceX are..." When referring to a single entity, shouldn't it be "is"? As in SpaceX is instead of are?

    This has always bugged me, and I'm sure I'm wrong on this, but when referring to a single thing, is instead of are just makes sense.

    Ok, carry on talking about launches and all that happy fun stuff.

    IIRC, this is a UK thing. Google is failing me, but I'm sure someone will be able to provide a link.
