While Western media debates “China’s collapse,” China just lit a 220-ton full-flow staged-combustion methane engine — a technology only SpaceX had touched. This is the foundation of: • lunar bases • deep-space logistics • heavy-lift reusable rockets • a real alternative to the U.S. Starship system Ironically, the world’s...

China Achieves First Successful Net Recovery of Reusable Long March 10B Rocket China successfully launched the Long March 10B (CZ-10B) reusable launch vehicle today (10 July 2026) from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, marking a major milestone in the country’s commercial space ambitions. The mission achieved China’s first successful controlled recovery of a rocket first stage and the world’s first successful net-based recovery of an orbital-class launch vehicle. The launch took place around midday from Launch Pad No. 2 at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. Approximately six minutes after stage separation, the rocket’s first stage executed a controlled vertical return to the designated recovery zone at sea. Instead of landing on a conventional drone ship, the booster was successfully captured by the offshore recovery vessel “Navigator” (领航者) using a flexible net capture system, representing the first time such a recovery method has been successfully demonstrated for an orbital launch vehicle. The Long March 10B is a new-generation commercial reusable liquid oxygen-kerosene rocket featuring a 5-metre-diameter core stage and standing nearly 70 metres tall. It is powered by seven reusable YF-100N engines. Even when configured for first-stage recovery, the rocket is capable of delivering at least 16 tonnes to low Earth orbit (LEO). The successful mission represents a significant breakthrough for China’s commercial space sector and reusable launch technology. It fills a longstanding gap in China’s capability to operate a large-lift reusable commercial launch vehicle while demonstrating an innovative recovery approach that could reduce launch costs and improve operational efficiency for future missions. The achievement also positions China among the leading nations advancing reusable launch systems, with the successful net recovery introducing a novel alternative to traditional landing platforms used by other space-launch providers.

Humbled to announce the successful firing of our single piece Agnite engine. Agnite engines power Agnibaan’s booster stage. These engine chambers are a full meter long, fully 3d printed as a single piece of hardware and made of Inconel. Agnite engines are driven by pumps that are controlled and operated by electric motors. Thanks to ISRO & IN-SPACe for their constant support and to IIT Madras for being our home turf from which this kind of technology is built. This Agnite engine was printed, depowdered and post processed in the same machines that we inaugurated as a part of our Large Format Additive Metal Manufacturing facility (LFAMM) towards the end of last year. This milestone is also significant for us because it completes one end-to-end cycle of design, manufacturing, assembly and testing of our larger engines, in-house. Amazing work by the team in pulling off a few world firsts here. - world’s first single piece engine of this size being fired - world’s largest inconel only engine - world’s only electric motor fed, semi cryo engine of this size and the list continues. However, this is not a race to be the world's first, it is a race to be the world's best & to be the world's most useful technology for launching small satellites to orbit. This comes right after firing a cluster of 3 semi cryogenic engines that happened last month. Honoured to be working with a team that truly believes in building world class, original space technology for the world, from India.

Watching Starship Flight 13 yesterday made me incredibly proud to be an American. 🇺🇸 Love him or hate him, there has only been one Steve Jobs. There has only been one Henry Ford. There has only been one Thomas Edison. And there is only one Elon Musk. America has always been the place where people with impossible ideas come to build them. That’s what has made this country so special and the leader of entrepreneurship for generations. Yesterday was another reminder of that for me. SpaceX launched Starship Flight 13, successfully deployed 20 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, restarted a Raptor engine in space, and brought Starship back through one of its BEST reentries yet before making its softest, most controlled splashdown ever in the Indian Ocean. The ship remained intact after landing, giving SpaceX another huge amount of real-world data to improve reusability. However, the Super Heavy booster didn’t complete its planned landing bc not enough engines relit for the final burn, but that’s exactly why these are called TEST flights… every flight teaches the team something new. Starship’s landing was so controlled that it makes me confident we’re getting closer to seeing the first catch of the ship by the launch tower. Whether that’s the very next flight or one after that, the progress is what’s is impossible to ignore. This is why I love America. It’s still the country where people are willing to bet everything on ideas that most of the world says can’t be done. The rest of the world watches these launches because they know history is being written in real time right now. We don’t have to agree on everything to appreciate what we’re witnessing. Starship is humanity building the transportation system that could one day make life multiplanetary. Right now is the best time to be alive, especially an American.

𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐗 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐯. 𝟏𝟕 SpaceX, under the leadership of CEO Elon Musk, is on the verge of conducting its second Starship test launch, scheduled tentatively for November 17, contingent upon receiving regulatory approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This launch, taking place at the Starbase test site in Boca Chica Beach, Texas, is a pivotal step for SpaceX's ambitious Starship and Super Heavy booster program. The first Starship test flight in April encountered challenges, leading to a stage separation failure and subsequent intentional detonation over the Gulf of Mexico. The upcoming test aims to address these issues and demonstrate advancements, such as a new hot-stage separation system and an electronic Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system for the Super Heavy Raptor engines. Standing at nearly 400 feet tall and boasting a lift capacity of 165 tons, the Starship and Super Heavy launch system is a revolutionary project for SpaceX. The company envisions its versatility, not only as a heavy-lift launcher but also for deep space missions and even lunar landings. NASA has plans to leverage the Starship rocket for its Artemis 3 mission to land astronauts on the moon. SpaceX has diligently worked on upgrades based on lessons from the initial test flight, including enhancements to the pad foundation, a water-cooled steel flame deflector, and a new vent system. The upcoming launch will be closely monitored to evaluate reentry and landing techniques, setting the stage for future success in orbital flights. However, the regulatory landscape introduces an additional layer of complexity. The FAA is conducting an environmental review, with consultation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to assess the impact of SpaceX's new water deluge system on the Boca Chica Wildlife Refuge. This precautionary step reflects the commitment to responsible aerospace practices. Despite these challenges, SpaceX has set up a dedicated website for the Starship Second Flight Test and plans to share a live webcast on November 17, offering enthusiasts and stakeholders a closer look at the technological strides and innovations in the pipeline.

FORGET FIREWORKS, THE REAL LIGHT SHOW MAY BE AMERICA’S NUCLEAR ROCKET While the world is busy counting down with champagne and drone shows, the U.S. government quietly lit something far brighter. The Department of Energy and NASA made it official. Nuclear Thermal Propulsion is no longer a science project. This is the moment chemical rockets start looking like steam engines. Nuclear Thermal Propulsion doesn’t burn fuel. It cheats physics the old-fashioned way. Liquid hydrogen gets blasted through a nuclear reactor, uranium atoms split, heat explodes outward, and the hydrogen screams out the back at absurd speeds. No combustion. No oxidizer. Just raw nuclear heat turned into thrust. The payoff is brutal and obvious. It delivers roughly double the efficiency of chemical rockets. That means fewer launches, heavier payloads, and much shorter trips. Mars stops being a nine month radiation marathon and starts looking like a three to six month sprint as the tech matures. Less time in deep space. Less exposure. More margin for humans to survive the trip. Faster travel keeps astronauts alive. Higher efficiency makes sustained missions possible. And nuclear propulsion is the only tool on the table that actually scales beyond flags and footprints. Now zoom out. SpaceX already solved the hardest problem in rocketry. Cost to orbit. Starship is the freight train. Nuclear propulsion is the engine swap that turns that train into an express. Chemical rockets get you off Earth. Nuclear engines move civilization through the solar system. Source: Office of Nuclear Energy | US Department of Energy
