🇺🇸🇮🇳 SPACEX ROLLS OUT FALCON-9 FOR HISTORIC INDIAN ASTRONAUT LAUNCH The Dragon spacecraft that will carry Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla to the ISS is now on the launch pad, locked and loaded atop SpaceX’s reusable Falcon-9. Shukla, trained by SpaceX and Axiom Space, will supervise launch and docking. The Dragon flies fully autonomous, no human intervention needed. But Shukla’s mission is bigger than the checklist. Shukla: “I carry not just technical equipment but the hopes and dreams of 1.7 billion Indians. I will be conducting 7 scientific experiments that could contribute significantly to our understanding of microgravity and pave the way for future space research. In many ways, I see myself as a bridge between Earth and space, and I’m proud to carry artifacts designed by the National Institute of Design, symbolizing India's creativity and innovation Even stars are attainable.” Source: India Today, Britannica

🚨 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.

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

Artemis II Glides Past the Moon A stunning view from deep space shows Orion — the spacecraft of NASA’s Artemis II mission — gracefully sailing near the cratered lunar surface. The ancient, rugged Moon fills the frame as humanity’s first crewed voyage beyond low-Earth orbit in over 50 years unfolds in real time.This historic flight carried four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen — on a daring loop around the Moon, pushing farther into space than any humans since the Apollo era. The mission successfully tested Orion’s systems for future lunar landings and beyond.The breathtaking contrast between cutting-edge human technology and the timeless, airless beauty of the lunar landscape captures the spirit of exploration: bold curiosity, technical mastery, and our enduring drive to reach new frontiers. Note: This is a creative or illustrative depiction of the scene. Actual mission imagery from Artemis II shows spectacular views of both the near and far side of the Moon captured by the crew.

SpaceX just completed back-to-back Falcon 9 launches from both coasts in under 12 hours. Florida, then California. That was launches 20 and 21 for 2026. We're barely eight weeks into the year. Here's what the last ten days looked like. The 600th Falcon 9 flight in history. The 20th crewed Dragon mission delivering astronauts to the ISS. A booster flying its 31st mission. The second ever rocket landing in the Bahamas, resuming after a year-long environmental review. Over 50 Starlink satellites deployed across back-to-back launches. And another launch tonight. The constellation now has over 11,200 satellites launched, 9,700 in orbit, and 10 million subscribers. The FCC approved expansion to 15,000 satellites. Starlink is on pace to become one of the highest-revenue connectivity businesses on the planet. No other entity on Earth is doing anything close to this. Not governments. Not other companies. SpaceX is operating at a cadence that would have seemed impossible five years ago. This is the machine that makes everything else possible.

Around the Moon and Back in Ten Days There is a rocket on Launch Pad 39B in Florida. 98 meters tall. 2.6 million kilograms. It leaves the ground April 1st with four people aboard. They will fly around the Moon and be home in ten days. No human has done anything like it since December 1972. Victor Glover will be the first person of color beyond low Earth orbit. Christina Koch the first woman. Jeremy Hansen the first non-American to reach the Moon’s vicinity. Commander Reid Wiseman, a single father, told his daughters: four people on Earth get to fly around the Moon right now. He could not say no. On April 6 they circle the Moon at 6,000 miles. It will look like a basketball held at arm’s length. On the way home they hit 25,000 miles per hour. Farthest. Fastest. Ever. They will not land. That comes later. Apollo 8 first, then Apollo 11. Same logic. Prove the capsule. Trust the capsule. Then trust your life to it on the surface. Four people. Ten days. No landing. The most important test flight since Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. It leaves the pad Wednesday. Gandalv / Gandalv

🚨 DUSK TILL DAWN: SPACEX’S TWILIGHT MISSION GOES VERTICAL Elon is taking us on a "sunset cruise." SpaceX is targeting today for the Twilight mission, the first of its kind. Forget the usual Transporter or Bandwagon series... this is a bespoke rideshare to a "dusk-dawn" sun-synchronous orbit. The Falcon 9 is sitting pretty at Pad 4E in Vandenberg, California, ready to hurl 40 payloads into a trajectory that rides the Earth's terminator line. This isn't just a fancy name. Dusk-dawn orbits are the "infinite battery" hack of space travel. By staying on the edge of the planet's shadow, these satellites get 24/7 sunlight; perfect for high-power data centers in space or NASA’s Pandora mission, which is hitching a ride to sniff out exoplanet atmospheres. It’s a niche market that SpaceX is effectively turning into a suburban bus route, making high-demand science accessible for the price of a mid-tier Silicon Valley office lease. Watch the lander. Booster B1097 is on its fifth flight and aiming for a Return to Launch Site (RTLS) at LZ-4. If SpaceX nails this "terminator" trajectory, expect a surge in "space-based compute" startups immediately. The era of the orbiting server farm is officially here, and the Mullahs in Tehran (who currently have their own internet issues) are going to find it much harder to kill a signal that never sees a sunset.

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.

A week since launch… and I still can’t stop watching this on loop. ❤️🚀 What are the odds that Vikram-1’s very first sunrise in orbit makes its grand entrance through the diamond on board? Some moments can’t be engineered. That perfect sun angle happened only because of the launch hold—we lifted off 35 minutes and 30 seconds later than planned, at 12:05:30. Sometimes, the universe adds its own touch. This will be one of the most beautiful footages ever captured from space. ✨ 🚀

During training, you visit many of the facilities that will eventually play a role in your mission. Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A was one of them. This visit felt different. Standing at the base of the tower and looking up, I was reminded that this is the very place from which Neil Armstrong and his crewmates began their journey to the Moon. The facility has evolved over the decades and has been modernized for a new era of spaceflight, but it still carries the weight of its history. You can feel it. Then there is the elevator. Inside, there are only two buttons: Earth and Space. A simple design choice, perhaps, but one that feels remarkably profound when launch day finally arrives. What you see here is me at the top of the launch pad, with the Falcon 9 yet to make its way out. The rocket is transported to the pad horizontally and then raised to a vertical position before launch. Standing there, it was impossible not to imagine the events that would soon unfold. At this very time last year, all of this was happening in real time. Looking back now, it feels both distant and incredibly close. #shux #space #shubhanshushukla #india #axiom4
