A quantitative model of how Starship’s cost per kilogram falls as booster life goes from 5 to 30 flights, ship life from 1 to 10, and payload from 100 to 200 tonnes — and why the last flight of every ship is the cheapest kilogram in the system. Starship will…

SpaceX launched a secret reconnaissance mission for the U.S. government early on Thursday morning (July 30). A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Thursday, kicking off the mission for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) called NROL-95. The launch occurred at 3:10 a.m.…

SpaceX Starship flight 13 shows white powder on the surface of the heat shield. The flaps that were in the water showed a lot of the powder washes off. The theory would be that there were some broken tiles and some tiles had plasma penetrations that cause some ablative damage.…

SpaceX’s Direct-to-Cell service delivers wide-area coverage from orbit, but it still runs into the classic satellite limits: capacity and densification in crowded areas. The most elegant fix is already sitting in Tesla’s network — Supercharger stations and the coming Cybercab fleet. Turn Superchargers into fixed small cells and Cybercabs into…

I was wrong in thinking that SpaceX would buy 5G celltower equipment from the Echostar auction. It is the wrong equipment to get and involves paying rent to cell tower companies. SpaceX can make its own small cell systems at supercharger sites and on cybercabs. Another problem with the Dish…
