Lots of discussion about Starship landing backup options. There is one solution - Dragon.

I was watching Ship 41 come in on Flight 14. In the last part of the belly flop, just before the flip and burn, it was dropping at about 100 metres a second. That’s roughly 360 km/h, still falling sideways.

Transporter 18 Transporter missions are rideshare flights offered by SpaceX for small-satellite customers, typically supporting payloads up to 50 kg. SpaceX has indicated it will scale back Falcon 9 operations

Will we only trust Starship if it lands like a plane of the Space Shuttle? That is the question people keep asking when they watch a belly-flop flip into a late Raptor relight. Certification can clear

The launch and landing of the world's largest rocket in space ended successfully in various ways. An engine failed during the launch. Still, this Space X Starship was successful in its journey to space.

Woke up in time yesterday morning to watch the Starship launch. It was pretty damn cool to see the Pez dispenser, (their name for it) that popped out the V3 Starlink satellites one at a time from a port

On 28 September 2026, SpaceX conducted Integrated Flight Test 14 (IFT-14) of the Starship program. During ascent, the Super Heavy booster lost two engines. This did not affect overall booster performance.

1,000,000 vs 1,000 - which is best? Elon Musk has said for years that a self-sustaining Mars city needs about a million people and on the order of a million tonnes of cargo. If the ships from Earth stop,

Some dates stack. 29 September keeps returning with the same kind of first: not a parade, just a craft that opened a door and left a habit behind. Today in Space History - A Skylark Above the Ionosphere

Goals 1st Orbital flight Deployment of 26 V3 Starlink satellites Approximate payload mass: 50 t Mission profile: 6 orbits The targeted initial orbit is 275 km. Planned mission duration is approximately

Where is Starship 40 today 28 Sep 2026? Ship 40 remains aboard the Boskalis Forte. She's well west of last week's mid-ocean track. Latest AIS puts her in the equatorial South Atlantic, roughly 7°S 31°W,

Look at the Starship and Nova hot-staging frames. I think those engineers must have been drinking the same Kool-Aid. 🤔

So the question of the day is: Is the Tesla Semi the Mars vehicle everyone needs? Cybertruck works for fast, long runs. The colony still needs bulk haul and mobile habitats. And they can fit in Starship.

We talk about Starlink and Starmind as if Earth is the goal - what if it's not. Sure, everything Elon does has a benefit on Earth, but weigh that against one of his key life goals - a self-sustaining colony

So the question of the day is

So the question of the day is: why does the Starbase Louisiana layout have such a large gap down the middle? Then I got thinking. Could that open strip be ready for a future Shuttle-class runway?
