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."

Video analysis is one of Grok’s most underrated and useful features. Grok summarized SpaceX’s newly released 30-minute update video for me in minutes. Here's the complete summary: Musk opens by restating the company’s mission: building the systems and technologies needed to make life multiplanetary, understand the true nature of the universe, and extend the light of consciousness to the stars. The post caption frames past wins (reusable rockets + rebuilding the internet in space via Starlink) and positions the next challenges as multiplanetary life and fundamental understanding of the universe. Key points covered Past milestones (Dragon): 2012 — first privately developed spacecraft to dock with the ISS. 2020 — first commercial system to fly astronauts to the orbiting lab. Starship + Starlink V3 progress: First two flights of the current generation completed; work continues toward full and rapid reusability. First next-gen (V3) Starlink satellites successfully deployed. These are expected to deliver ~20× the capacity per Starship launch versus V2 satellites launched on Falcon. Explicit goal stated on-screen: “We are striving to be 51% of the internet.” Compute / SpaceXAI: Highlights the company’s computing clusters (described as among the most powerful in the world). The Memphis/Southaven site currently has 1.4 GW of nameplate power draw. Target for SpaceXAI is 10 GW by the end of next year, with a call for top engineers to focus on it. Related topics appear in the supporting slides: Grok, Colossus/MacroHard data centers, StarMind (orbital AI compute), and associated manufacturing (GigaSat factory). Lunar mass drivers are also referenced in the later vision section. The presentation mixes historical recap, current technical status on Starship/Starlink scaling, aggressive AI/compute build-out plans, and the long-term multiplanetary vision. It is primarily Musk speaking with on-screen text overlays and B-roll rather than a dense slide deck of financials.

HAPPENING NOW: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just arrived at Castelion to meet with the company’s founders as part of the Department of War 🇺🇸’s Arsenal Freedom Tour. Castelion Corporation is a U.S. defense technology startup founded in late 2022 by former SpaceX engineers, including CEO Bryon Hargis, Sean Pitt, and Andrew Kreitz. The company specializes in designing, testing, and manufacturing affordable, mass-producible hypersonic strike missiles to restore America's conventional deterrence capabilities, particularly against adversaries like China and Russia in hypersonic weapons. Their flagship product is the Blackbeard hypersonic missile system, engineered for high-volume production (thousands per year), lower costs (potentially 10x cheaper than comparable legacy systems), rapid development cycles (months instead of years), and compatibility with existing U.S. military platforms like HIMARS for the Army and various Navy systems. Castelion employs a SpaceX-inspired approach: vertical integration, rapid iteration, high-cadence testing (over 25 flight tests by late 2025), and scalable manufacturing using nontraditional suppliers to cut costs and speed. Castelion is Headquartered in Torrance, California, with facilities in Texas and a major new 1,000-acre solid rocket motor campus in Sandoval County, New Mexico called Project Ranger. The company has secured significant funding, including a $350 million Series B round in December 2025 following earlier rounds, to ramp up production. It has won multiple Department of War 🇺🇸 contracts, including integration awards with the U.S. Army and Navy, SBIR phases, and AFWERX programs for hypersonic development. Castelion aims to address the U.S. lag in hypersonic munitions by focusing on scale and affordability rather than boutique, high-end designs from traditional suppliers like Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin or Raytheon Raytheon. Upon Pete Hegseth’s arrival, a large screen in the Castelion lobby lit up with a message that read “Welcome Secretary of War Pete Hegseth” and “Arsenal of Freedom” with a video of a missile launch.

ATTENTION! Iran Ballistic Missile capacity (SITREP)—how much longer can they sustain these barrages? It’s just past 0200 local in Tel Aviv time now. Iran has over 3,000 ballistic missiles but cannot launch all simultaneously (they’ve already launched 8 waves). Current evidence leans toward a maximum of around 180-200 missiles launched at once in recent attacks. It seems very likely that infrastructure limits simultaneous launches to far below 3,000. Iran possesses a significant ballistic missile arsenal, estimated at over 3,000 missiles, making it the largest in the Middle East. However, the capacity to launch all these missiles at once is constrained by logistical and strategic factors, including the number of launch platforms and the nature of their deployment. Recent military actions show Iran launching up to 180-200 missiles in a single strike. These numbers are significantly lower than 3,000, indicating a limit to simultaneous launch capacity. Iran's infrastructure and launch capacity, including transporter-erector-launchers (TELs) and underground facilities, does not support launching 3,000 missiles at once. The focus on sequential or ripple-fire systems further supports this limitation. My assessment is Iran is getting toward the end of their ballistic missile capacity (for a variety of reasons). They likely still retain hundreds but their ability to launch very large numbers is hindered by infrastructure destruction over the past several days as well as launch capabilities. That said, DO NOT underestimate Iran’s ability to do as much as humanly possible to attempt to destroy Israel. That has been their stated goal for years and until there is regime change to someone more aligned with Israel and the west, expect this war to continue. Iran's ballistic missile program has been a focal point of regional and international security discussions for many years, particularly given its implications for Middle Eastern stability and global non-proliferation efforts. Iran's ballistic missile inventory comprises a diverse array of short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) and medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs). One notable development is an automated missile launch system revealed since 2020, capable of positioning up to five fully fueled ballistic missiles on an underground railcar for sequential ripple-fire through a single vertical shaft. This is what Israel is facing now. Barrages of dozens of these simultaneously and my assessment is more to come. Strategic and Logistical Considerations Launching 3,000 missiles simultaneously would require an unprecedented number of launch platforms and coordination, likely exceeding Iran's current capabilities. Strategically, such an action would deplete Iran's entire arsenal, leaving it vulnerable to counterattacks. Our Israeli allies need to prepare for another round of massive amounts of missiles. Iran—you better get ready for a strategic counteroffensive. The Israelis have planned this war for a long time and my sense is that they are far more ready than you, particularly their population. The Iranian people DO NOT want to suffer any longer under their brutal tyrannical regime. This war will end with a clear victor. Donald J. Trump JD Vance DNI Tulsi Gabbard

🚨 SPACEX IS ABOUT TO TEST A RADICALLY DIFFERENT KIND OF SPACECRAFT AND IT COULD UPEND THE ENTIRE ORBITAL MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY. On Tuesday, SpaceX plans to fly the first prototype of Starfall, a flat, disk-shaped reentry capsule designed to return up to 1,000 kilograms of cargo from orbit in a single flight. That’s roughly 30 times more payload capacity than current commercial return vehicles (like those from Varda Space Industries). It’s not a scaled-down Dragon it’s a completely different approach: no onboard deorbit engine, a wide flat disk geometry, and Starlink terminals mounted to maintain communication through the plasma blackout during reentry. Why this matters: • Current orbital manufacturing companies are limited to returning only dozens of kilograms per mission • Starfall’s design could make large-scale commercial production in space economically viable for the first time • SpaceX would be directly competing with companies (like Varda) that currently pay SpaceX to launch their capsules • Successfully testing Starlink through reentry plasma would be a major technical win with applications across SpaceX’s vehicles The deeper implication: SpaceX is quietly expanding its vertical integration. They already dominate launch. Now they’re moving into the return leg of the orbital manufacturing supply chain the part that has been the biggest bottleneck for companies trying to make products in microgravity and bring them back to Earth. If Starfall works at scale, it doesn’t just give SpaceX another revenue stream. It gives them significant control over the economics of an entire emerging industry. The disk shape and high-capacity design suggest they’re thinking about high-cadence, lower-cost returns rather than the traditional high-value, low-volume approach. This is classic SpaceX: take an existing problem (expensive, low-capacity return from orbit), apply first-principles thinking to the vehicle design, and try to make it dramatically cheaper and higher volume. How do you think this move into orbital return changes the competitive landscape for companies trying to build businesses in space manufacturing? Follow for more analysis on SpaceX’s expanding role across the space economy.
