With support from ISRO and IN-SPACe, this progress highlights the rapid growth of India's private space sector. Alongside recent private orbital launches like Skyroot’s Vikram-1, the country is building strong self-reliance in space technology. A proud leap forward for Made in India innovation. 🇮🇳show more

This video shows a static fire test of the... Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.show more

Watch the flawless launch sequence of SpaceX’s Starship, showcasing... one of the most advanced engineering feats in modern rocketry. Notice the hot staging sequence, where the upper-stage Starship ignites its Raptor engines before separating from the Super Heavy booster. This method reduces gravity losses and improves overall flight performance, although it requires additional shielding and adds some complexity and weight to the booster. Also pay close attention to the engine startup sequence: the outer Raptor engines ignite first, followed by the center engines, ensuring a smooth, stable, and efficient ascent into space.show more

NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful... 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."show more

Elon just clarified the plan for building the TERAFAB.... The Advanced Technology Fab built at Giga Texas will not be “the TERAFAB.” It will be a smaller fab where they will iterate on chip designs. The TERAFAB wouldn’t even fit on the Giga Texas campus. Several sites for the TERAFAB are under consideration, and it will need thousands of acres and over 10 GW of power at full scale. My opinion: To put this in perspective, Tesla would need 2,000-5,000 acres for the entire TERAFAB lot. This would equal ~87-200 million square feet of available land space for power and battery backup with Megapacks, with ~20-60 million square feet of available space for the actual building. Just for reference, backing up a facility like this with a ~5-15 minute battery backup would require 168 Megapacks and it would for sure need its own power production such as natural gas turbines or maybe even its own dedicated power plant. Here's Grok's representation of the Tesla TERAFAB!show more

🚨 BREAKING 🇮🇷 IRAN JUST SWITCHED TO A FULLY... OFFENSIVE STRATEGY! A SENIOR IRANIAN OFFICIAL TOLD REUTERS THAT ALL IRANIAN FORCES WILL BE READY TO ESCALATE IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AND ACROSS THE REGION IF DIPLOMACY FAILS. IRAN ALSO SAYS, “IT WILL NOT WAIT WHILE THE U.S. CONTINUES ITS NAVAL BLOCKADE INDEFINITELY.” THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD FOR MARKETS...show more

Just weeks ago I considered this to be a... map of Superchargers. The foundation that made EV’s a going concern for the first time. But it’s not. These dots represent fully permitted and built power stations in an era where every AI player is trying to figure out how to get power for compute. This is the largest electrical power moat I’ve ever seen that can fully supply current and future charging needs while collecting and storing cheaper power during off-peak to supply an AI revolution. Elon doesn’t care who knows anymore. 2nd place is… crumbs. AWS was built from excess server space needed during peak demand. Now it’s bigger and more valuable than the core Amazon retail business. Tesla is about to drop a hardware smackdown right in the face of software engineers. AI prototypes are easy. Scaling is hard. If only Tesla had a factory pouring out millions of chips each year that are underutilized 95% of the time. Each with their own battery storage. Imagine that. Tesla could call them ‘cars’. And that power moat? It’s all fully upgradable. It’s primed to be tripled. Only a handful of Tesla charging stations currently have solar and/or Megapacks. For 14 years Tesla has permitted and built the gas stations of the future around the world. Everyone said it would fail. All of them were wrong. And now Tesla is in a process of creating a possible 10x value stamp on those stations that should have never been built. It makes you wonder, When a vehicle now leaves the Tesla factory; how do we even begin to calculate the economic production that it will generate during its lifetime? It’s a Robotaxi, energy storage, and a fully sealed/cooled compute processor. They may as well start shitting gold out of a tailpipe.show more

🚨BREAKING: HEZBOLLAH USE LARGE MISSILE FOR FIRST TIME THIS... WAR The explosion below is suspected to be ''Burkan" Missile from Hezbollah. This would be the first time that Hezbollah has used this weapon in this war, marking an escalatory step due to its increased payload. The Burkan, also known as “The Volcano”, has a range of 500-2,000 meters and can carry explosive warheads that weigh hundreds of kilograms. The video below shows the rocket being used in a different conflict. Is this a warning to Israel, or is it indicating an intention to escalate? Source: Yedioth Newspapershow more

A substantive meeting with Rob Jetten. Thank you, Rob,... for all your support for our people and your readiness to work together on solutions that will help protect lives. Without a doubt, Europe needs its own anti-ballistic capabilities so that the European way of life can be fully protected. We discussed what has already been accomplished together with our partners in this regard. The Prime Minister and I also signed a full-fledged drone cooperation agreement – a Drone Deal. It will create even more opportunities for joint production and technological development, and, most importantly, bring greater consistency to the exchange of expertise and the export of weapons. I am grateful to the Netherlands for the assistance that has helped protect and support thousands upon thousands of our people's lives from Russian strikes.show more

🇺🇦 The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has officially codified... and adopted into service the armored vehicle MAC OWL, produced by the Ukrainian company MAC HUB. It was first publicly presented at the beginning of this year. 🔻 The MAC OWL was developed in cooperation with the South African company Paramount Group and is essentially the Ukrainian-adapted version of the South African Mbombe 4 armored vehicle. 🔻 The vehicle’s protection level meets NATO standard STANAG 4569 Level 4 (capable of withstanding 14.5mm bullets) and weighs 16 tons. Despite its weight, it can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h, thanks to a 450 hp engine. The crew consists of 3 servicemen and it can transport an additional 6 fully equipped soldiers. 🟧 It will be equipped with a remotely controlled combat module armed with either 12.7mm M2 Browning machine guns or 40mm automatic grenade launchers (MK-19 or UAG-19). The adoption of the MAC OWL is a significant achievement for Ukraine’s defense industry. By localizing the production of a modern, well-protected armored vehicle based on proven South African technology and adapting it to local conditions, Ukraine is strengthening its own armored capabilities and reducing dependence on foreign supplies. This vehicle is well-suited for the realities of the current war. Video is generated by grok AIshow more

I began my visit to New York by a... meeting with U.S. senators. I thanked them for their strong bipartisan support for Ukraine and for passing The Lindsey Graham’s sanctions bill. This is absolutely the right step, and once it is fully implemented, peace and guaranteed security will certainly be closer. We agreed that our teams will work closely on sanctions. I briefed the senators on the de-escalation proposals we will discuss with the President of the United States. We also raised our need for ballistic missile interceptors and the challenges we face ahead of the coming winter. There are things we can do together with America to protect lives. American made Patriot Systems cannot be replaced at this point, and the more anti-ballistic protection Ukraine has, the less emboldened Russia will be to continue its strikes and prolong the war. Thank you!show more
