Do you want to go to mars? Yes or no?! SpaceX has the goal of sending the first uncrewed Starship to Mars in 2024. Elon Musk is "highly confident" SpaceX will land humans on Mars by 2026. The first crewed Nasa Mars Mission, which would include sending astronauts to Mars, orbiting Mars, and a return to Earth, is proposed for the 2030s. Technology development for US government missions to Mars is underway, but there is no well-funded approach to bring the conceptual project to completion with human landings on Mars by the mid-2030s, SpaceX

Mach33 SpaceX GigaModel New toy: an illustrative hologram of our SpaceX mass forecast. Watch the active mass of the Starlink shell, the orbital-data-center halo, and cumulative Moon/Mars tonnage build out year by year to 2040, according to what our model predicts. Density represents mass rather than discrete satellites btw... Spinning the globe is pretty fun... perhaps more importantly, check out the analysis on valuation insights from Mach33's SpaceX GigaModel here 🧐:

Elon Musk has set an ambitious goal for SpaceX to begin sending uncrewed Starships to Mars by 2026, with crewed missions potentially following in 2028. Do you think it’ll happen ?

Confirmed - SpaceX will attempt to catch the Ship portion of Starship in Flight 14 for the first time, if post data review is green. Subsequently, 14 will also be Starship’s first orbital launch as a Ship catch requires it.

🇺🇸 SPACEX GOES AHEAD WITH LAUNCH PLANS DESPITE HEAVY RAIN It’s soggy in Starbase, but SpaceX isn’t slowing down. Booster B15 is back on its transport stand and expected to roll to the production site between 10 AM and 2 PM CDT during today’s road closures. In Mega Bay 2, teams are prepping Ship 38 for engine testing ahead of its scheduled flight. Rain or shine, SpaceX is pushing forward with its Mars mission. Source: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

SpaceX is preparing to attempt its first-ever catch of the Starship upper stage on Flight 14. The catch will only happen if post-flight data review from previous missions comes back favorable. Catching Ship at the launch tower is a far bigger challenge than a splashdown, since the vehicle has to survive the full return profile and land precisely back at the pad. A Ship catch also requires an orbital-class trajectory rather than a suborbital hop. That means Flight 14 would double as Starship’s first true orbital launch, combining two major milestones into a single mission. SpaceX has already proven tower catches with the Super Heavy booster, and extending that capability to the upper stage would mark a major step toward full reusability. It shows how quickly the company is moving from testing survivability to testing precision recovery.

🚨 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.

A new FAA Starship Flight 9 Statement just landed in my inbox. ---- The FAA issued the following news tonight. The FAA approved license modifications for the SpaceX Starship Flight 9 mission. The approval includes final action allowing SpaceX to increase Starship operations from five up to 25 per year at Boca Chica, Texas. However, SpaceX may not launch until the FAA either closes the Starship Flight 8 mishap investigation or makes a return to flight determination. The FAA is reviewing the mishap report SpaceX submitted on May 14. Learn about the FAA Mishap Response Program. For the Starship Flight 9 mission, the FAA is expanding the size of aircraft and maritime hazard areas both in the U.S. and other countries. This is a result of the FAA requiring SpaceX to revise the Flight Safety Analysis following the prior launch mishap and because SpaceX intends to reuse a previously launched Super Heavy booster rocket for the first time. Read the new Environmental Assessment for Updates to Airspace Closures to learn more.

Just over a day after arriving to Massey's, Starship Booster 20 got to work, with a first cryo test completed, over the course of around 10 hours. It remains to be seen if SpaceX has plans for further tests, or this completes this stage of the pre-flight testing for the booster ahead of flight 13. NSF - NASASpaceflight.com |
