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.

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 Isaacman Effect - Week 37 | Starship reaches orbit, Artemis Accords expand to 76 nations, Starliner plots its return, and Crew-13 launches today. Commercial momentum and international coalition building

A laboratory on Mars beats MSR. Surely? The prize is not a box of rocks in Houston. The prize is answers. Age, chemistry, organics, context, and whether Mars ever held anything alive. Classic sample return

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,

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.
