🇺🇸 ELON: STARSHIP TO BE CAUGHT MID-AIR BY TOWER THIS YEAR SpaceX aims to catch Starship using the launch tower’s giant arms—just like it already does with the Super Heavy booster. If successful, it would mark a huge leap toward rapid reusability. No ocean landings, no recovery ships—just launch, catch, refuel, repeat. Elon: “Later this year, if fate smiles upon SpaceX, the ship will be caught by the tower, just like the booster.” Reusable Starship is essential for building a sustainable route to Mars.

Elon Musk on how Starship turns mass to orbit from thousands of tons into millions SpaceX already delivers almost 90% of all Earth mass to orbit with Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy Most of the remaining mass comes from China, while the rest of the world, including the rest of the US, makes up only about 5% to 7% But Starship takes this to a completely different level Today, SpaceX is around 2,500 tonnes per year to orbit With Starship, the goal is millions of tonnes per year to orbit And SpaceX can reach 1 million tonnes to orbit per year in about three years That is not a small upgrade That is many orders of magnitude more mass to orbit than what exists today Falcon made SpaceX the dominant launch provider Starship turns orbit into industrial infrastructure

🚨🇺🇸 SPACEX CREW CHANTS “USA!” AS STARSHIP COMPLETES SATELLITE DEPLOYMENT TEST Starship just ejected its last dummy satellite during payload testing and the SpaceX team erupted into chants of "USA! USA!" The test simulated how Starship will one day deploy around 60 Starlink V3 satellites per launch, adding 60 terabits per second of network capacity — about 20 times more than a Falcon 9 can deliver. Starship is about to replace Falcon 9 as SpaceX's workhorse despite being bigger and more complex, because it'll cost less per kilogram to orbit. American engineers just flexed on the entire planet.

Elon Musk reveals what SpaceX is gearing up to do in the next five years "Five years from now, my prediction is we will launch and be operating every year more AI in space than the cumulative total on Earth" "100 gigawatts is on the order of 10,000 Starship launches. You want to do that in one year. That's like one Starship launch every hour" "It really depends on how quickly the ship has to go around the Earth and come back over the launch pad. If you can use a ship every 30 hours, you could do it with 30 ships" "SpaceX is gearing up to do 10,000 launches a year, and maybe even 20 or 30,000 launches a year" "If some of my predictions come true, SpaceX will launch more AI than the cumulative amount on Earth of everything else combined"

🚀 Starship will be the 1st fully reusable orbital rocket in history. Liquid oxygen, liquid methane, and a cost-per-launch that could drop below trans-oceanic air freight. Elon put it simply: "The cost of access to orbit is just the cost of propellant." If that holds, the economics of space will get rewritten entirely. Source: SpaceX, Elon Musk

Elon Musk: I didn't think SpaceX would succeed – and it almost didn't. “We started off developing a small rocket, which was kind of a scale model version and proceeded to have three failed launches in a row. For various technical reasons, the first three launches did not succeed in reaching orbit. Launches 2 and 3 did get to space, but they didn't achieve enough speed to reach orbital velocity. It was in 2008, we were heading into the recession, and we had one rocket left. Fortunately, in late 2008, that fourth launch did work and we made it to orbit and then we won a NASA contract after that. Fortunately things worked out. But if that fourth launch had not worked, then SpaceX wouldn't be around. So it was very close call. In fact, when I started I thought, okay, I think I've got enough money for three launches. Fortunately, it was just enough to make that fourth one.” Montana Jobs Summit, September 16, 2013

Elon Musk says SpaceX will launch 10,000 Starships a year — one every hour. SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 about once a week. Other rocket companies launched once a year, if at all. ULA. Arianespace. Roscosmos. The total global cadence: maybe two hundred orbital launches a year. "That's like one Starship launch every hour." A launch at noon. A launch at one. A launch at two. Twenty-four launches a day. Three hundred sixty-five days. From a single launch pad. In a single Texas town. Then Musk reframed the cadence. "That's actually a lower rate compared to airlines, aircraft. There's a lot of airports." He named the model: the Starship airport. A single pad doing the work of a hundred. Musk, whose Starbase had already shipped two boosters in flight, knew an airport's rhythm. A fleet of 20 to 30 reusable Starships, each rotating through a 30-hour ground-cycle, would carry a million tons of payload to orbit per year — the volume required to make AI in space cheaper than AI on Earth. "You could probably do it with as few as 20 or 30." 20 ships. 30-hour cycle. 10,000 launches. One billion-dollar machine flying every 30 hours, year-round. After Musk drew the cadence, Starship became an airline. Mostly cargo. Some humans. Plenty of fuel. Musk, on the new ceiling: "SpaceX is gearing up to do 10,000 launches a year, and maybe even 20 or 30,000 launches a year." What's a frequency you've defaulted to that should actually be 100x more often? P.S.

NEWS: SpaceX has detailed Starmind, its plan for up to 1 million AI compute satellites in orbit, on a new website. Starmind moves AI data centers into space. Each satellite runs AI compute in orbit and beams results to Earth through Starlink lasers. The satellites draw constant solar power and cool for free in the vacuum. SpaceX filed that plan with the FCC in January. The first satellite, AI1, carries 150 kW of peak compute and spans 70 meters. Starship will carry 30 to 50 AI1 satellites per launch. SpaceX will build them at a new Gigasat factory in Bastrop, Texas. The AI chips come from a planned SpaceX and Tesla fab called Terafab. Two prototypes target early 2027, with thousands of satellites from late 2027.

NEW: The All-In Podcast praises Elon Musk and SpaceX for successfully catching the massive Starship booster and projects that Starlink could easily surpass 100 million subscribers. "SpaceX has dramatically reduced the costs per kilogram to launch material into low-earth orbit." "Elon's always said that $1000 a kilogram is too high, and his objective is to get the cost down to $10 a kilogram." "It was critical to be able to reuse that heavy booster, and that's what Elon just demonstrated. So you can actually catch that heavy booster, refuel it, and launch it an hour later." "If you can do that over and over again, you're spending $10 a kilogram to put material into space. You can get fuel into space and then get those Starships to fly off to Mars and deliver all this material, including setting up a base that would allow you to actually make more fuel on Mars." "So it's the beginning of the next series of really important milestones that will hopefully get humanity to Mars. It was so amazing to see it come together. The economics are legit. This is like a 1000x reduction in cost." "Starlink is running like 4 million subs right now at $100 a month." "If we can get satellite to phone and Starlink more broadly available, this could be a 100 million subscriber business."

The cheapest place to put AI will be space. Elon Musk says solar panels in space produce 5 times more power than on the ground. No atmosphere, no clouds, no day-night cycle. No batteries needed. And critically, no permits. Scaling energy on Earth means fighting land use regulations, environmental reviews, and grid interconnection queues that take years. Space has none of that. The math gets wild fast. SpaceX could launch hundreds of gigawatts of AI compute into orbit annually. That's more compute than currently exists on Earth. Ten thousand Starship launches per year. One launch every hour. And you only need 20 to 30 ships to sustain that cadence. Earth gets about half a billionth of the Sun's total energy output. A millionth of the Sun's energy is 100,000 times all of civilization's current electricity production. The AI race is not a software race. It is a power plant race. And software people are about to get a very hard lesson in hardware.

Chamath has been watching SpaceX for 15 years and he thinks the market is still not close to understanding what it actually is (Save this). The first argument is the industrial logic of a Tesla SpaceX combination. One capital structure, one balance sheet, one vehicle to raise money across robotics, autonomous vehicles, energy, AI, and launch. Chamath Palihapitiya argument is that markets are treating this as a peripheral possibility rather than an obvious strategic inevitability. The second is Starlink Direct to Cell, which he believes will generate enormous domestic cellular revenue before most of the bigger SpaceX narratives even begin to materialize. The numbers already back this up. Starlink has over 10 million Direct to Cell monthly active users with live partnerships with T-Mobile, Rogers and Optus standard smartphones connecting directly to satellites with no special hardware required. SpaceX is currently deploying approximately 340 Direct to Cell satellites per month, targeting 25 million monthly active users by end of 2026. Goldman forecasts SpaceX's AI division will generate $15.6 billion in 2026, rising to $34.5 billion in 2027 and accelerating to $322 billion by 2030 roughly a 100-fold increase in five years. Total SpaceX revenue hits $474 billion by 2030, up from $18.7 billion in 2025. The launch cadence numbers are where this gets staggering. SpaceX is expected to execute 151 Starship launches in 2027, scaling to 253 in 2028, then 1,504 in 2029, 2,808 in 2030, and 5,467 in 2031. Goldman projects 5,288 of those 2031 launches will be dedicated Starship AI missions each carrying 30 to 50 satellites powered by one GB300 equivalent compute rack apiece. The cost per kilogram to orbit falls below $100 as reusability matures, compared to $1,500 per kilogram on Falcon 9 today. Morgan Stanley projected a 24-hour turnaround by late 2027, enabling the kind of cadence these numbers require. That launch cost collapse is what makes the orbital AI compute thesis real Elon Musk

Elon Musk: Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1 but has 400 times the payload. “One of the most profound things is that Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1. That's the difference between a fully reusable rocket or an expendable rocket. The fully reusable rocket with low-cost propellant and autogenous pressurization actually costs less than a tiny expendable rocket. Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit. The Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1. Ultimately, I think we might be able to get the cost per flight to Earth orbit down to around $2 or $3 million. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible but we're not breaking any physics to achieve this.” SpaceX Update, April 4, 2024
