Excel motto
Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
Re: "there is two columns that have a blank cell"
In the picture it shows three columns starting at Row 41.
Is it different columns then these three?
Re: " a blank cell"
That means one blank cell but the picture shows multiple blank cells.
Is that blank cell located somewhere else?
You show us 275 lines of code and I assume you want people to wade through that.
It will be a lot better to explain in detail what you want to achieve.
Be concise and to the point.

I want the code to copy the complete column even if it has blanks. right now when it runs into a blank cell its stops copyin the rest of the column. But there is non blnk cells after the blank cells.

I copied only a piece of the Code, In red below it says " SkipBlanks " Im not sure if this is whats causing the problem.

Windows("SpaceX_Open_Order_Report_" & Format(Date, "m-d-yyyy") & ".csv").Activate
Range("D2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlUp)).Select
Windows("BACKLOG.xlsm").Activate
Range("E2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

Selecting is very seldom required and it slows down running the macro.
xlDown is notorious for creating the problems you describe.

To copy all data in a column to the last used cell you should use
Range("A2:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
or
Range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Copy

If all the columns are the same lengths, set the last cell first and use that
LastCell = Cells.Find("*", ,xlValues , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
Range("A2:A" & LastCell).Copy
Range("B2:B" & LastCell).Copy

This is just to give you an idea. There is better ways.
Too much to go through at the moment though.

Solution
Try this with copies of your originals.

Change the wb1, wb2, sh1, sh2 to meaningful names
Change references like sheet names as required.
Following should replace your first 151 lines of code.
Code:
Dim wb1 As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, sh2 As Worksheet
Dim lr As Long
Set wb1 = Workbooks("SpaceX_Open_Order_Report_" & Format(Date, "m-d-yyyy") & ".csv")
Set wb2 = Workbooks("BACKLOG.xlsm")
Set sh1 = wb1.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set sh2 = wb2.Worksheets("Sheet1")
lr = sh1.Cells.Find("*", ,xlValues , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
sh2.Range("A2:B" & lr).Value = sh1.Range("A2:B" & lr).Value
sh2.Range("D2:P" & lr).Value = sh1.Range("C2:O" & lr).Value

You can insert the other workbooks/worksheets names and use the same logic for that.
Your 275 lines of code should be reduced to somewhere around 20 lines and a lot easier to maintain/change when needed.

How can I implement this option " Range("A2:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy " into mine. Can you show me how much to remvoe of my code to then add this code you gave me.

Windows("SpaceX_Open_Order_Report_" & Format(Date, "m-d-yyyy") & ".csv").Activate
Range("D2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlUp)).Select
Windows("BACKLOG.xlsm").Activate
Range("E2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

I used this option " Range("A2:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy "and it worked for one column so I will use it for the rest of the columns. Thank you.

Keep on playing with it for a while and try to digest what it does.
Copy and Paste can be replaced as I showed you in Post #6 (.Value = .Value scenario)
If you can't get it going, come back here and let us know.
In this part "Cells(Rows.Count, 1)" the 1 means the first Column which is Column A.
If you do the D Column, you would go like this
Code:
Range("D2:D" & Cells(Rows.Count, 4).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
