🇺🇲 Reusable rockets were never a side project for SpaceX… They were a priority from the company’s start. It began with Grasshopper tests of vertical takeoffs and landings. That eventually led to technology allowing boosters to return to Earth after launching. What started as a SpaceX experiment has now... show more

SpaceX aims to send one million people to Mars by 2050 using thousands of Starship rockets. Elon Musk envisions launching up to 30 Starships per day, with reusable boosters returning to Earth just minutes after liftoff. The system is designed for rapid refueling and could eventually transport millions of tonnes of cargo to Mars.

🇺🇸 Elon stood in front of the whole SpaceX team and looked back at the wild ride so far. Reusable rockets were once laughed at, now SpaceX and Starlink are stitching the planet together. A real shot at life beyond Earth that most people still call science fiction. The only thing that actually matters: “What do you want the next chapters to be in this story? What do you want the next book to be?” The first book already changed everything, but this next one could change what it means to be human. Source: SpaceX, Elon Musk / Writer: Val

Elon Musk says he and SpaceX employees were randomly drug tested for a year after smoking weed on Joe Rogan "I had to have random drug tests and stuff after that to prove that I'm not a drug addict" "SpaceX competitors were like, 'Hey, why aren't you doing anything? Look at him brazenly smoking weed on Joe Rogan podcast" "The consequences for me and for SpaceX were actually not good because it's federally illegal and SpaceX has federal contracts" "All of SpaceX had to have random drug tests" "I'm like, 'Sorry guys, I didn't realize it would be this big of a deal'" "I don't even know how to smoke a joint. Just look at me, I have no joint smoking skills"

SpaceX has developed one of the safest, most reliable parachute systems for human spaceflight Before trusting Dragon’s parachutes with astronauts, SpaceX put the system through nearly 100 tests and flights The upgraded Mark 3 parachutes were built for one of the most critical moments of human spaceflight... bringing astronauts safely back home to Earth And this became part of something much bigger SpaceX restored America’s ability to launch astronauts to orbit from American soil and bring them safely back home aboard an American spacecraft For nearly a decade, America had lost that capability SpaceX brought it back 🇺🇸 SpaceX treats astronaut safety as the highest priority, testing critical systems again and again before ever trusting them with human lives

🚨BREAKING: SpaceX wants to send one million people to Mars by 2050 using thousands of Starship rockets. Meet Starship, the fully reusable rocket built to make that number real. The system is designed for up to 30 launches a day, with boosters that return to Earth minutes after liftoff and rapid refueling that turns one rocket into thousands of trips. Built to haul millions of tonnes of cargo and the people who follow it.

China has successfully tested a reusable first stage for its Long March-10A rocket using a unique net-based recovery system at sea. Unlike SpaceX, which lands its boosters directly on a drone ship, China recovered the booster with a specially designed offshore platform fitted with a large capture net, marking a different approach to reusable launch technology. Reusable rockets can dramatically reduce launch costs by allowing expensive rocket stages to be flown multiple times. China plans to use the Long March-10 family for future crewed lunar missions, making this technology an important step toward its long-term space ambitions. Could this new recovery method become a serious alternative to SpaceX's reusable rocket system? #China #SpaceX #elonmusk #Falcon9 #ISRO

SpaceX is one of the most dominant companies on the planet and their performance gap just keeps getting bigger. In 2025, SpaceX launched more mass to orbit than every other provider on Earth combined. MUCH MORE: every payload from China, Russia, Europe, and all American launchers wasn’t even a fifth of what SpaceX put into orbit. They’re the only company producing rockets at an industrial scale. The practices that made SpaceX dominant aren’t unique to rockets. They’re a blueprint for building anything hard. This episode — and the essay it is based on — explores How SpaceX Works:

Elon Musk just became become the world’s first trillionaire. SpaceX started in a warehouse from nothing. The company almost went bankrupt. Critics said reusable rockets were impossible. And yet, they just opened with the largest IPO ever. Elon proved everyone wrong. Only in America is this possible 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Elon: My real goal is expanding consciousness beyond Earth He sees civilization as fragile, and everything he builds is meant to give it a better shot at surviving. "The overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization. Basically, maximize the probability that civilization has a great future. And to expand consciousness beyond Earth. SpaceX is about advancing rocket technology to the point where we can extend life and consciousness beyond Earth." Source: Reuters, Elon Musk, SpaceX

.Shaun Maguire on what SpaceX employees are going to do with their new wealth from the SpaceX IPO: “There’s this meme that wives of tech billionaires go on to do NGOs and fund bad causes—SpaceX will be the literal opposite.” “These people are going to do the most amazing things with their money.” “Most people that joined SpaceX over 15 years ago—they did it for the mission. Because they love space, and want to build rockets. They want to work with their hands and want to keep America competitive in the space industry.” “It's self-selected. The people that were there early didn't think it would ever become this big of a company. They didn't do it to get rich. And they got rich very slowly, with very real skills and real experience of how much of the world is designed to take money and do bad things with it.” “This group of people—we're going to see more beautiful travertine sculptures in cities, just for public art.” “I think we're going to see a lot of physical whimsy out of the SpaceX crew.”
