Elon Musk says steel killed carbon fiber on Starship at one-fiftieth the cost. Carbon fiber was supposed to be the future of rocketry. Lighter than aluminum. Stronger than steel. Trusted by every Formula 1 team. SpaceX picked it for Starship. "Particularly if you go for a high-strength specialized carbon fiber that can handle cryogenic oxygen, it's roughly 50 times the cost of steel." Then progress stalled. The autoclaves needed to cure the resin had to outsize every autoclave on Earth, and the team couldn't even produce a clean barrel section without wrinkles. Musk, watching the Mars timeline slip: "At this rate, we're never going to get to Mars. So we've got to think of something else." So he asked the question nobody at SpaceX had asked: "What about steel?" It became known as the cryogenic stainless flip. Musk, who had already shipped Falcon 9 in aluminum-lithium, broke with the textbook. "When you look at the material properties of stainless steel, full-hard, strain hardened stainless steel, at cryogenic temperature the strength to weight is actually similar to carbon fiber." Starship ran on cryogenic methane and oxygen. The airframe lived at temperatures that flipped steel ahead of carbon fiber. "You could smoke a cigar while welding stainless steel." After Musk made the call, steel weighed less than the carbon fiber version. Fifty times cheaper in raw material. Twice the heat tolerance. Half the heat shield mass. Musk, looking back: "In retrospect, we should have started with steel in the beginning. It was dumb not to do steel." What "obvious" material in your work is silently costing you the project? — Elon Musk (.Elon Musk , CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, on Dwarkesh Patel's (.Dwarkesh Patel) podcast

Can SpaceX Really Become More Valuable than rest of Earth? 😯 Elon Musk recently made one of his boldest predictions yet. Speaking about SpaceX, he said: "You don't seem to understand that SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth if we accomplish our goals." That's an incredible statement. SpaceX is already one of the world's most valuable companies after its historic public listing. So what does he see that everyone else doesn't?🧐 Is SpaceX just another aerospace company, or is it trying to build the foundation of an entirely new economy—one that stretches from Earth into space?🚀 The first part of that vision is already becoming reality. SpaceX has launched thousands of Starlink satellites into orbit...If satellite internet continues to grow, many analysts believe Starlink alone could become one of the world's most valuable communications businesses. The second piece is Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket SpaceX has ever built... Elon wants humanity to become a multi-planetary species by building a self-sustaining city on Mars. SpaceX hopes Starship will one day transport people, equipment, and supplies to the Red Planet. But becoming more valuable than rest of Earth would depend on turning ambitious ideas like Starship and Mars into reality—something no company has ever done before. The question isn't just whether SpaceX can become the world's most valuable company. It's whether Elon Musk's biggest dream—making humanity a multi-planetary civilization—will actually become reality.🤔🤔
