SpaceX ditched Mechazilla’s hydraulics for one brutal reason: fluid compression delays. When catching a 70-meter Super Heavy booster falling from the sky, standard hydraulics have a tiny, millisecond lag time that can cause a catastrophic crash. To fix this, SpaceX switched to ultra-responsive electromechanical actuators. These electric drives provide... show more

🇺🇸 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.

BREAKING: For 10 years the world believed there was one way to reuse a rocket: land it upright on its engines, the way SpaceX does. Today China refused to copy it, and pulled off something SpaceX never managed on a first flight. It caught the rocket instead. The Long March 10B lifted off from Hainan, China this morning, and about 6 minutes later its first stage came back down toward a 25,000-ton ship at sea. It did not land. Hooks on the falling booster snagged a net of tensioned steel wires strung across the deck, the wires riding robotic rails that slid into place to meet it. No landing legs. No touchdown. A rocket plucked out of its own descent by a moving net, on the maiden flight of a brand-new vehicle. No one handed China this. SpaceX guards its rocket tech as “trade secrets”, not “patents”, precisely so it cannot be read and copied. China watched a decade of public flights and then built an entirely different machine to reach the same prize, catching instead of landing, which sheds the heavy legs and spares the fuel a soft touchdown burns to hover. And this was never about cheaper satellites, though it delivers those too, feeding the thousands of birds in China's Starlink rival. Its deeper purpose is the Moon. That booster shares its core with the rocket meant to land Chinese astronauts on the lunar surface by 2030. In the same season, America's own Moon rocket, Starship, has flown 12 times and still has not shown the single maneuver its lunar plan depends on. One flight does not dethrone SpaceX. It has landed hundreds. What ended today is not SpaceX's lead. It is Uncle Sam’s belief that it owns the only road to the Moon. The piece works out which way of coming home actually wins.

WHY THE CHOPSTICKS SYSTEM WILL LEAD US INTO A MULTI PLANETARY SPECIES SpaceX’s "chopsticks" has officially redefined how rockets return to Earth, solving a key issue with the Super Heavy booster landings. By catching the rocket mid-air, this system eliminates the need for landing legs, drastically reducing the booster’s mass and fuel consumption while increasing payload capacity. This advancement allows for quicker reuse of rockets, cutting down both maintenance time and costs. The solution is more than just an engineering feat—it marks a critical shift in space travel’s future. By perfecting rocket reusability, SpaceX is breaking down barriers to space exploration, making missions more affordable and sustainable. It brings humanity closer to frequent space travel, allowing businesses, researchers, and even individuals to explore new frontiers, with a long-term vision of life beyond Earth.

Elon dropped a SpaceX update and the numbers are wild. - Two successful Starship B3 flights in the last 90 days. - Flight 13 nailed the key steps needed for orbital missions and catching the booster back at Starbase. - Flight 14 will be the first to put Version 3 Starlink sats into operational orbit. They’re aiming to catch both stages this year, and maybe even the ship on the next flight. Right now Falcon alone puts about 2,500 tons into orbit every year. The rest of the world combined? Around 300. That’s 80-90% of everything humanity sends to space coming from one company. Starship is about to make that look tiny. Writer: Lynn / Source: Elon Musk

Elon Musk: Our goal is to fly Starship like an aircraft. “In order to achieve full reusability, everything's got to be perfect. The engines, the structure, the avionics, the choice of propellant. You've got to go to extreme measures for mass optimization, which is why we have the tower catch the rocket. Instead of putting on landing legs, which are heavy, the rocket can simply be caught by the tower. And we haven't achieved full reusability yet, but we do expect to achieve that hopefully later this year with Starship. If you're going to go a step beyond that, which is to make it rapidly reusable such that the rocket lands, it gets caught by the tower, gets put back on the launch stand and can be flown again without any refurbishment or laborious inspection. Like an aircraft. Yeah, this is incredibly difficult. This is the first time that there's ever been a rocket where that is possible. That's what makes Starship so profound.” Source: AI Satellite presentation, SpaceX, June 8, 2026

GET THIS CLOSE TO STARSHIP AT STARBASE AS PUBLIC VIEWS BLOW MINDS Down at Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, you can literally park roadside and watch SpaceX history unfold feet away, no VIP pass needed. Folks are pulling up to see Ship 34 (S34) getting hauled to the pad for the next Integrated Flight Test, towering over the horizon like a sci-fi beast ready to conquer Mars. These monsters, Starship stacked on Super Heavy—are the biggest, most powerful rockets ever built, designed for full reusability and multiplanetary life. S34's the latest prototype pushing boundaries with improved heat shields, engine upgrades, and that signature Raptor roar waiting to light up the sky. Elon's turned a sleepy beach town into the epicenter of humanity's future, letting anyone with a car witness feats of engineering that were dreams just years ago. From static fires to orbital attempts, Starbase is where it happens, open to the public, raw and real. No gates, no barriers everyone. f you're chasing the stars, road trip to Texas. The view's will be worth it every time. Source: Mark Federschmidt SpaceX

SpaceX has officially acquired xAI and this is a HUGE deal, probably bigger than most people realize. SpaceX + xAI together are about to build a single, vertically integrated engine that connects AI, rockets, space based internet, and real time information all into one unified system. At the core of this announcement is the fact that AI can’t scale forever on Earth. Think about it. Data centers are already running into hard limits with power, cooling, land, and environmental cost. On top of this, global AI electricity demand is exploding, and doing all of this on the ground just doesn’t scale long term. Therefore Space changes this. In orbit, you can get things like near-constant solar power, you don’t have cooling problems, there’s minimal land/environmental impact, and you can build systems that can run continuously with minimal maintenance. This is why space-based AI is actually very practical and there’s only one company that can do it, which is SpaceX! The scale that SpaceX is aiming for is pretty wild. Elon is talking about 1/ 1 million satellites acting as orbital data centers, and 2/ Launching ~1 million tons of satellites per year Which means 3/ At 100 kW per ton, that’s 100 gigawatts of AI compute every year 4/ And that can scale to 1 terawatt per year. FYI, adding 100 GW of new compute capacity annually in space would be like building out roughly 20-25% of the USA’s total average electricity demand every single year. And scaling to 1 TW/year would exceed the nation’s entire power usage, ALL without burdening Earth’s grids! Bro… this is next level… I repeat, as of today, SpaceX is the ONLY company positioned to do this, especially with Starship - the largest flying vehicle ever. In the future, Elon’s saying the team is going to have Starship launch 200 tons at a time, on an HOURLY basis… WTF?! That’s is absolutely mind boggling. In my opinion, whichever company builds the lowest cost AI compute is going to be the first company that defines the next era of AI, which will all be in space… and my $ is that SpaceX is going to be the first one to do it. Then, when you zoom out even further, this will unlock things most people aren’t even thinking about yet today bc it’s too sci-fi. Like, • Powering lunar bases • In-space propellant transfer • Manufacturing in orbit and on the Moon • Deep-space AI infrastructure using massive solar collectors • Self-growing civilizations on the Moon, Mars, and beyond By tapping into space’s unlimited solar energy, this is how we get to a Kardashev-level civilization! So for SpaceX, the faster Starship progresses, there will be massive new revenue streams and will lead in building out space-based AI infrastructures. For xAI, AI scales without ruining Earth, deeply integrated with everything SpaceX is building, further understanding the universe. For us humans, AI will grow without destroying the planet, and there’s a real path to becoming multi-planetary. I believe SpaceX acquiring xAI is officially the blueprint for where AI, energy, and humanity are headed. Congratulations to everyone, this is such an exciting time to be alive!

SpaceX is reportedly moving toward an IPO — and investors are starting to ask which public-market tickers stand to benefit most as the commercial space sector draws fresh capital. This is what Aerospace Catalyst Tracker is built to answer. The Play tracks the operational signals that drive stock-level repricing — launch cadence, Starlink deployment, and competitive dynamics — across the companies most exposed to space-sector catalysts. Here's what the Play covers today: Launch Cadence & Multi-Operator Tracking Every orbital launch is tracked in real time — operator, vehicle, payload, outcome, and schedule changes. The Play covers SpaceX (Falcon 9 / Starship), Rocket Lab (Electron / Neutron), ULA (Vulcan Centaur), and Blue Origin (New Glenn) — the four operators defining the current competitive landscape. For each, we monitor launch frequency trends, success rates, manifest backlogs, and quarter-over-quarter share shifts. SpaceX booster reuse and turnaround cadence are tracked separately as a leading indicator of cost-curve compression. Starlink Deployment & Constellation Growth A dedicated module tracks Starlink satellite launches, orbital deployment counts, and multi-country pricing. We map deployment cadence against constellation build-out milestones — useful for investors sizing the revenue trajectory ahead of any IPO filing. Alert System The Play monitors large-value aerospace contract awards as they are disclosed — flagging dollar amounts, recipient tickers, and related news signals in real time. Recent alerts include multi-billion-dollar awards to LMT and BA, and NASA infrastructure contracts. When a contract hits that moves a name in the supply chain, it surfaces immediately in your feed. Aerospace Catalyst Tracker is now live on FUNDA for institutional clients. For a limited time, all paid Substack subscribers can access the full set through June 15, 2026.

To build a terawatt-scale orbital AI data center network, SpaceX must deliver 10 million tons of infrastructure to orbit every year. Starship V4 @ 200 tons payload = 50,000 launches per year. → ~135 Starships per day. One every ~10 minutes. 24/7. Sounds impossible… until you understand what SpaceX is actually solving. Elon is right. True rapid reusability isn’t just hard it’s two civilization-level engineering problems that must be cracked at the same time. SpaceX isn’t building another rocket. They’re building the first orbital airliner. Engines: Raptor Designed from day one for liquid methane + full-flow staged combustion. - Burns clean (no coking) - Turbines run cooler - Raptor 3 strips shields & welds flanges shut Goal: 1,000 flights with minimal maintenance. Heat Shield: The unsolvable problem… until now Thousands of hexagonal silica tiles mechanically pinned to stainless steel. Tiles and hull expand independently. No glue. No months-long refurbishment like the Shuttle. On top of these sit thousands of smaller issues that only real flights reveal. The method: Fly. Break. Learn. Iterate. Fast. Solve this stack → marginal cost drops to mostly propellant. That unlocks 200-ton payloads every ~10 minutes… enough for orbital AI data centers at terawatt scale, lunar bases, and a city on Mars. This is why Starship is the hardest machine humans have ever attempted. Source: Elon Musk SpaceX

OPINION: 2006 ELON’S PROMISE TO FUND SPACEX WASN’T A FLEX… IT WAS A PLEDGE TO THE WORLD HE KNEW WAS COMING Watch that clip again. 34-year-old Elon, sitting in front of a half-built Falcon 1, saying the quiet part out loud: “I’m prepared to fund this all the way until SpaceX is the world’s top launch company… absolutely.” He wasn’t bragging. He was taking a zealot, making a vow in an empty church. Back then the scoreboard read: - 3 straight Falcon 1 failures, - $100 M of his own money already torched, - NASA laughing him out of the room, - Every “smart” investor running for the exits. And this man looked straight into the camera and basically said: “If the entire world says no, I will still say yes until physics itself bends.” Most founders pivot when the runway runs out. Elon didn’t, he doubled down so hard he almost went personally bankrupt. The 4th flight (the one that finally reached orbit in 2008) was literally his last dollar. He had already written the goodbye emails to employees in case it blew up again. It reached the sky, and the trajectory of human history tilted. Fast-forward to 2025: - SpaceX is worth more than Boeing, Lockheed, and NASA’s entire budget combined. - Starship towers over the same Texas mud where that skinny kid once stood. Every single launch you watch, every booster catching itself like it’s playing fetch, is the compound interest on one man’s insane refusal to flinch. The deeper truth most people miss: That 2006 quote isn’t about rockets. It’s about what happens when someone treats a vision as non-negotiable, when the mission stops being a company and becomes a belief. That’s why legacy aerospace still can’t beat him. They optimize for quarterly returns. He optimized for species survival. Legacy space was a jobs program. SpaceX became a crusade. So next time you see a Starship flip and land in slow-mo, remember the 34-year-old who was willing to lose everything so humanity could win everything.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

The Rapid Growth of SpaceX, Starlink, Starshield & Armada: “I am very grateful that SpaceX is an American company.” "Data centers in space is coming, & it makes sense" “5 years ago they hadn’t even launched Starlink—now it’s in 150 countries & it’s continuing to grow every week.” “It’s an unfair advantage that we have with Starshield.” “If the world can get access to SpaceX, I think that’s a good thing.” Dan Wright (Dan Wright), CEO of Armada Elon (Elon Musk) builds long-term advantage, then unleashes it at massive scale: SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla, Neuralink, xAI.. . . . "We started the company working with SpaceX & they’ve continued to be a great partner for us. What that means is that as SpaceX rolls out throughout the world—& most people don’t know 5 years ago they hadn’t even launched Starlink —it’s in 150 countries & it’s continuing to grow every week. We are the first mover when it comes to the infrastructure, & that partnership works really well because we complement the connectivity with the infrastructure & the AI. We always are at the edge. It’s funny, I get messages from our team all the time & it’s like the most crazy places you can imagine. And the edge is gonna continue to get redefined. I get calls literally—I was on the call with somebody and they’re like, “Hey, can we get one of these in Antarctica?” I’m like, “Well yeah, Starlink’s live in Antarctica. No reason why we can’t do that.” Obviously data center in space is the new hotness. Everybody’s talking about it." "Yeah, what’s the deal with that—so are you gonna get these in space?" :They are modular. I mean the edge is continuing—this is actually a debate that we have in terms of how soon it’s going to happen—but it’s definitely going to happen. Data centers in space is coming, and it makes sense, right? If you think about what SpaceX is talking about with Starship going to the moon—you’re going to need compute, especially as you start to think about Optimus robots building bases on the moon, later Mars. You’re going to need large amounts of compute. Not to mention a lot of the things that we do here on Earth, you’re gonna want to do there in space. And it’s a lot more efficient to do it, especially in hostile environments, if you can automate more of that—things like mining, for example. And so you’re gonna see data centers in space, and I’m sure we’re definitely gonna be a part of it. "What do you think about SpaceX’s rumored IPO for 2026?" "I mean, I think SpaceX is an incredible company and they have a ton of value. So I don’t have any insider information here—but I would say, hey, if the world can get access to SpaceX, I think that’s a good thing. Starlink is really amazing in the sense that it just continues to get better so fast. They’re rolling out in new countries every week in major markets. Just as a real recent example, just this last week they launched in South Korea—big market and an important ally for the US, so that’s a big deal. They’re also expanding the types of services that are available. It started as a consumer product, then they brought it to enterprise. Initially that was used more as a backup, and now it’s being used more as a primary—and that is because the service keeps getting better and better as more satellites go up into the sky. Each generation of satellite is also better, not to mention the terminals on the ground. There’s now multiple types of terminals, including the more recent minis that people really like—“Hey, I can put it in a backpack if I go on a hike or if I’m traveling. I can put it on the ski rack of my car.” Perfect internet all the time. All that does for us is it gives us more use cases that we can unlock. Now that you have connectivity on the oil rig, or on a farm, or a ranch—wherever you are—we can apply the AI to those situations on the ground without latency, and then send the metadata back to some other location that they want it. Part of the full-stack approach. And also with Starshield—that’s a huge advantage when you think about some of the conflicts that are going on. People talk to me a lot about this race with China and the geopolitical conflicts around the world. I am very grateful that SpaceX is an American company. I feel like it’s an unfair advantage that we have with Starshield available to the DoD. We want to be the first mover with the infrastructure and the AI to help solve problems at the edge, and the work we’re doing with the Navy is a good example of that."

Watching Starship Flight 13 yesterday made me incredibly proud to be an American. 🇺🇸 Love him or hate him, there has only been one Steve Jobs. There has only been one Henry Ford. There has only been one Thomas Edison. And there is only one Elon Musk. America has always been the place where people with impossible ideas come to build them. That’s what has made this country so special and the leader of entrepreneurship for generations. Yesterday was another reminder of that for me. SpaceX launched Starship Flight 13, successfully deployed 20 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, restarted a Raptor engine in space, and brought Starship back through one of its BEST reentries yet before making its softest, most controlled splashdown ever in the Indian Ocean. The ship remained intact after landing, giving SpaceX another huge amount of real-world data to improve reusability. However, the Super Heavy booster didn’t complete its planned landing bc not enough engines relit for the final burn, but that’s exactly why these are called TEST flights… every flight teaches the team something new. Starship’s landing was so controlled that it makes me confident we’re getting closer to seeing the first catch of the ship by the launch tower. Whether that’s the very next flight or one after that, the progress is what’s is impossible to ignore. This is why I love America. It’s still the country where people are willing to bet everything on ideas that most of the world says can’t be done. The rest of the world watches these launches because they know history is being written in real time right now. We don’t have to agree on everything to appreciate what we’re witnessing. Starship is humanity building the transportation system that could one day make life multiplanetary. Right now is the best time to be alive, especially an American.

Imagine if someone told you have to catch the biggest flying object in the world as it's falls back to Earth faster than a speeding bullet, all so it can get reused and can be launched again back into space. I bet most people would throw in the towel right there, shaking their heads like, "No way, that's impossible." But not Elon. I’m talking about SpaceX's Starship, THE vehicle that will be used to make life multiplanetary. Back in October 2024, during their fifth test flight, Elon's team pulled off something straight out of a sci-fi movie. The Super Heavy booster, the bottom part of the rocket, towering over 200 feet tall, blasted off from their Starbase in Texas, sent the upper stage soaring, and then came roaring back. Instead of letting it splash down in the ocean or crash, they caught it mid-air with these giant mechanical arms on the launch tower, nicknamed "Mechazilla,” bringing it to a gentle stop. It was the first time ever, and it worked flawlessly on the very first try. What people don’t realize is each catch saves $ millions in costs, makes space travel cheaper, and gets us one step closer to putting people on Mars or the Moon for good. Reusable rockets is like re-charging your Tesla, instead of buying a new one after every trip. It's game changer for humanity's future. What inspires me about Elon is that drive… it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I would say I’m very driven, but this man is at a different level. Most people see “impossible” and step back, but Elon sees “impossible” and goes head in first. And history always changes bc of the ones that do the impossible. And I believe history will recognize Elon as the greatest entrepreneur in history.
