SpaceX released some epic high-quality footage today of Starship’s splashdown in the ocean during Flight 12. Starship 39 did this despite being down one engine. Pretty incredible. Seeing the SpaceX team go crazy after a launch never gets old. Very well deserved.

A decade. That's the gap between SpaceX landing its first reusable booster in 2015 and Blue Origin doing the same in 2025. SpaceX is already pushing for full reusability with Starship, which we believe could cut launch costs by an order of magnitude and widen the lead.

How can replacing four engines decide the fate of the world's most powerful rocket? 🚀 After Starship Flight 13's last-second abort, SpaceX is swapping out four Raptor engines on Booster 20 before trying again. With the first functional Starlink V3 deployment and multiple critical flight tests on the line, this launch could mark a major milestone on the road to full reusability. Here's why Flight 13 matters. #Starship #Flight13 #StarshipFlight13 #SpaceX #ElonMusk #Starbase #StarshipV3 #Raptor #Booster20 #Ship40 #StarlinkV3 #RocketLaunch

This is genuinely one of the most insane fucking videos I’ve ever seen. Drone footage of SpaceX Starship completing its first-ever intact soft splashdown after a full landing burn. A a 52-metre steel tower, taller than the Statue of Liberty, falling from space, reigniting its engines, flipping upright and gently landing in the ocean. Absolutely mind-blowing. 🚀

Starship Flight 13 was yet another step towards a fully & rapidly reusable orbital launch system... but the Booster once again had some return issues. How many steps will it take? That said, the Ship... SURVIVED!? →

Elon Musk: The real breakthrough SpaceX is chasing isn’t hype — it’s full reusability. No one in history has ever built a fully reusable rocket, and that’s why access to space is still insanely expensive — We’ve already landed Falcon 9 boosters over 500 times, but we still throw away the upper stage — and that alone costs as much as a small jet. Starship changes everything. When every part of a rocket comes back, space stops being exclusive and starts becoming scalable. Starship is the largest flying machine ever made — built for Mars, the Moon, and massive satellite deployment. But the real revolution isn’t where it goes… it’s that it comes back. Full reusability is the single biggest lever for lowering the cost of space in human history. Automation and AI matter — but without full reusability, space will always be expensive. Starship is designed to change the economics entirely. Prove full reusability, and the cost of reaching orbit drops by a factor of 100. That’s how Mars stops being a dream and starts being a plan.

Elon Musk on the Starship roadmap: “Starship V3 is aimed at doing 100 tons to orbit with full reusability” “Then Starship V4.....we’re aiming for over 200 tons per mission and being able to launch every hour” That changes the entire space industry From occasional launches → to airline-like operations From kilograms to orbit → to hundreds of tonnes per mission SpaceX is building the infrastructure for a future with massive satellite deployments, orbital industry, lunar bases and eventually Mars-scale logistics

Elon Musk: We hope to achieve full rocket reusability this year, a profound invention that will drop the cost of access to space by a factor of 100. “The key breakthrough that SpaceX is hoping to achieve this year is full reusability. No one has ever achieved full reusability of a rocket, which is very important for the cost of access to space. We've achieved partial reusability with Falcon 9 by landing the boost stage. We've now landed the boost stage over 500 times, but we have to throw away the upper stage. The upper stage burns up on reentry for Falcon 9, and the cost of that is equivalent to a small-to-medium-sized jet. Hopefully this year, we should prove full reusability for Starship, which will be a profound invention because the cost of access to space will drop by a factor of 100 when you achieve full reusability.” Interview at WEF, January 22, 2026

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

We've now landed the boost stage over 500 times, but we have to throw away the upper stage. The upper stage burns up on reentry and the cost of that is equivalent to a small to medium sized jet. So with Starship, which is a giant rocket, it's the largest flying machine ever made, we should prove full reusability, which will be a profound invention, because the cost of access to space will drop by a factor of 100 when you achieve full reusability. So it makes putting large satellites into space very low, very cheap."
