Before liftoff, the next generation #SpaceX #SuperHeavy booster will sit atop 20 of these redesigned support arms for the #Starbase Pad B Launch Mount. Using my highly accurate 3D model of the pre-fabricated assembly, I can calculate that a single arm weighs ~9.7 tons. This will likely eclipse 10... show more

Goddam Any idea how much the entire pad weigh? Gotta be upward of 500 tons right?

#SpaceX is preparing to move the massive new #Starship launch mount structure for #Starbase Pad B to the launch site for installation. In this post, I’ll give an overview of the design and use my 3D models to calculate the structure’s mass in its current configuration. This new launch mount, nearly an entire redesign, is SpaceX’s best effort at correcting many of the issues discovered with the mount at Pad A after a handful of launches. The only similarity between this mount and the original launch mount for Pad A is that 20 arms will still be used to support the #SuperHeavy booster before liftoff. However, the arms and everything else making up the structure are entirely different.

Elon Musk explains exactly how Space X's Mechazilla can catch the Super Heavy booster. On Sunday morning, Space X successfully caught a 20+ story tall rocket booster. "This is a custom-built tower with arms that are designed to catch the largest flying and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it outta the air." "It'll weigh about 250 tons. We'll make that lighter over time." "So you got a couple hundred tons plummeting at more than half the speed of sound. So this thing is still coming in really fast." "When the engines land... it's gonna drop the velocity to basically zero and come in between the arms." "The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will, will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms." "The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero." Insane.

Just 8 days after the final stack of Superheavy-B16. B17's common dome section has been moved to the front of MB1 for stacking operations. As expected, the pace of vehicle assembly will have to increase dramatically in order to keep up with SpaceX's goals for Starship Launch Cadence in 2025. We are rapidly approaching Flight 7, and Booster 17 is the Flight 10 Booster. Assuming SpaceX plans to carry out 20 to 25 launches in 2025, this booster will need to be fully stacked, cryo tested, integrated with its 33 raptor engines, static fire tested, and receive final launch outfitting 8 to 10 weeks from today. To date, the record holder for fastest assembly to launch time is B13 which took 41 weeks from initial stacking to launch. This means the assembly and test campaign for B17 needs to be at least 4 times faster than the previous best (assuming there are no re-flights's of boosters within the next 4 launches). If every booster from here on has one re-flight before B17's inaugural launch, then the assembly to launch process only needs to be around 2 times faster than the current best. I should note that B14 is expected to be the new record holder. If it launches on Jan 10 it will have been just under 40 weeks. Another important detail is that from what we can tell, this a Version 1 Booster. This means that we should expect a minimum of 4 more launches before Pad B is operational. One thing is for sure 2025 is going to be WILD!!! Shoutout to The Ringwatchers discord server for helping me gather the required data on such short notice. Make sure to follow them if you haven't already.

Dongfeng's 16,000-ton Gigacasting machine just entered production - the largest die casting machine ever built 🏭 It is now producing battery trays. For scale: before 2018, a "large" die casting machine was 4,000 tons. Tesla raised the bar to 6,000 tons for the Model Y in 2020. Then 9,000 tons for the Cybertruck. Now Dongfeng is producing at 16,000 tons. Four times the pre-Gigacasting standard. At this tonnage, Dongfeng can cast integrated chassis and battery tray structures in a single shot - components that require multiple machines and assembly steps at any other OEM. The evolution in 7 years: -> Pre-2018: 4,000T (industry ceiling) -> 2020: 6,000T (Tesla Model Y) -> 2023: 9,000T (Tesla Cybertruck) -> 2026: 16,000T (Dongfeng, in production) No Western machine is operating above 9,000 tons today. March 25-28th I will be in Wuhan, China where I will see this 16,000 T machine If you want to follow my trip, foIIow me on Instagram, I’ll post stories of the factory and event

Elon Musk on Starship: — The next launch will be the final one using the Starlink V2 stack; after that, Starship moves to Version 3, a major upgrade with Raptor 3 engines and many changes — V3 may face initial challenges due to the redesign, but it will be capable of fully reusable launches delivering over 100 tons to orbit — Barring major setbacks, SpaceX expects to demonstrate full reusability next year, recovering both the booster and the ship

While we wait for SpaceX to de-stack Ship 40 and roll back booster 20 for engine swaps and other checks following yesterdays abort right at engine ignition, I thought I’d share my close encounter of Ship 40 as it rolled to the launch site a few days ago. If you’ve never been to Starbase for a launch, you may not know just how close you can be to the largest rocket in history just hours before it launches … there is nothing else like this anywhere in the world! Waiting for a new launch date … currently NET 20 July, but this could and likely will change so watch for the official SpaceX announcement.

Good lord....Superheavy is a MONSTER!!! Something I believe will potentially cause delays to the expected 3 week turnaround time for flight 10 will be repairing the damage sustained to the Booster QD. It seems like the pitch over maneuver occurred a bit earlier than normal, which increased the BQD's exposure to the exhaust plume. In these images from RGV Aerial Photography you can see the current condition of the top of the door. The heat appears to have partially melted and folded back the steel. This allowed the plume to start eating away at the seal between the door and the front side of the enclosure. Difficult to tell but it seems like the hot gases were able to penetrate the gap between the two surfaces and likely caused some damage to the internal components. I think its safe to assume the door will need to be replaced and something will need to be done to repair the front side of the enclosure. Replacing the door without repairing this surface would likely result in even more damage on flight 10. Luckily things like this will no longer be a problem on the Pad B launch mount. So Pad A just needs to hang on a few more months until this structure can be retired, demolished, and reconstructed.

ELON: I THINK WE’LL ACHIEVE FULL AND RAPID REUSABILITY OF STARSHIP IN 2026 “We're pretty close to being able to rapidly reuse the booster for Starship. It comes back and gets caught by the arms, and then the arms place it back in the launch mount. We still have a little bit of engine damage and a little bit of heat shield damage. There are tweaks that are needed. But we're pretty close to achieving full and rapid reusability of the booster. For the ship, I think we'll achieve reusability this year, and I think we'll achieve rapid reusability of the whole stack, ship and booster next year. This is the fundamental breakthrough required for life to become multiplanetary.” Source: The Joe Rogan Experience, February 28, 2025, Elon Musk , Joe Rogan

An estimated 40 million tons of wind turbine blades will end up in landfills by 2050. Each modern blade weighs around 10 to 15 tons--mostly fiberglass and epoxy composites with 1 to 2 tons of carbon fiber, balsa and foam, plus roughly a ton of steel and copper for structural support and lightning protection. All mined, smelted and transported using fossil fuels. Then once they wear out, after just 15 years, those complex materials are almost impossible to recycle, so most are simply buried. It's another hidden cost of green energy and the complete opposite of sustainable.

Elon Musk estimates Starship could deliver nearly 10 million tons to orbit every year.....the scale needed to make building civilizations on the Moon and Mars possible "Starship is amazing. It's hard to believe that humans made such a thing. I think the future AI will look back and say, 'not bad for a bunch of humans' Starship is obviously an incredible vehicle It's what will take us from roughly 2,500 tons to orbit per year to over a million tons to orbit per year. I think maybe even to 10 million tons per year These are mind-boggling numbers. I'd say it's highly likely we do over a million tons a year to orbit with Starship, and probably close to 10 million. But that's the kind of tonnage you need in order to build a civilization on the Moon, Mars and beyond. If you can't deliver millions of tons to Earth orbit, you can't get the millions of tons that you need to the Moon and Mars to make us a sustainably multi-planet species. It's arguably the hardest thing humanity has ever tried to do”

Decades of hardware development led to strong, fast, and precise robot arms. The moment we can put in general intelligence in these things, we can leverage the full spectra of capabilities that they were always meant to capture. We’re betting on a future where robot hardware will continue to improve, and we intend to build the best models on top of the best hardware to push the frontier of capabilities and reliability. Here’s an old video from TossingBot that I think helps make this point extra clear. Industrial-grade repeatability started out as a crutch for dumb software -- but if you pair it with the right AI models, then it becomes an advantage that is superhuman. There are factories where the same UR robot arms are still being used to precisely and repeatably build the same car parts, operating for 10 yrs straight without a single failure or shutdown. Humanoids will get there too (among other form factors). Not yet today, but eventually. And our models will be ready to meet them when they do.

This one said "she'll rather her daughter sleeps with 100 men than marry early". If you think these generation of women are bad, wait for the next generation. The next generation will be raised by feminist who think like this. Men, you owe it to your children to get them a good mother and a role model.
