NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."

Fun fact. NASA's Parker Solar Probe survived its closest ever approach to the Sun. It broke its previous record by flying just 3.8 million miles above the surface of the Sun, and it hurtled through the solar atmosphere at a blazing 430,000 miles per hour

🚨 Starship Spinning Out of Control—Impact Point Unknown SpaceX’s Starship is spiraling wildly out of control in orbit, and right now, it’s anyone’s guess where this damn thing is going to land. Originally planned to splash down in the Indian Ocean, the vehicle has lost attitude control, meaning it can’t orient itself for a safe reentry. And let’s be blunt—without control, this is a 150-foot, multi-ton steel missile just tumbling through space. They hope it hits the ocean. But "hope" isn’t a guidance system. This is no longer a precision landing. It's a high-stakes cosmic dice roll with Earth as the board. Stay tuned. Shit just got real.

Figure 03 comes with a specialized charging stand. It anchors the robot so the motors can relax and stop using power to balance, while charging it inductively at 2 kW through the soles of its feet. Robots can do 4 to 5 hours of work after 1 hour of charging.

🇺🇸 SPACEX STARSHIP FLIGHT 10 HITS EVERY TARGET IN SPECTACULAR LAUNCH SpaceX just pulled it off. Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, blasted out of South Texas on its 10th test flight and nailed every key milestone. The Super Heavy booster executed a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, while the upper stage soared to space, re-ignited an engine, deployed dummy Starlink satellites, then survived reentry before breaking up on impact with the ocean. SpaceX says the mission stressed the vehicle’s limits and delivered invaluable data for the next-generation Starship. Source: SpaceCom Video: Dima Zeniuk

Successfully using a drone-mounted net launcher is harder than it looks. Here the lead is miscalculated by the Russian operator at the high speeds and winds at altitude, and a Ukrainian “Sych” reconnaissance-strike UAV escapes to fight another day. 1/

Footage of hypersonic missiles launched by Iran at Israel: the red color is the result of friction in the atmosphere, these are red trails of "Fateh" hypersonic ballistic missiles in the night sky. The IRGC gives the Israel such a "nighttime beauty", but they don't want to look at it and run to the bunkers - it's a shame

India has successfully test-fired a Long-range Anti-ship hypersonic missile from a defence facility off the Odisha coast. The #LRAShM missile is estimated to have a range of over 1,500 km and can reach speeds of up to Mach 10, enabling rapid strikes against high-value naval targets while evading advanced air defence systems due to its extreme speed and maneuverability.
