After SN9’s test flight was scrubbed on Thursday, Elon Musk took to Twitter to share his grievances with the FAA saying its “fundamentally broken.” Unlike its aircraft division, which is fine, the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure. Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a
SpaceX made history this morning. The Falcon 9 launched 143 satellites into orbit setting the record for the most satellites launched by a single rocket.

After last week’s accident involving Starship SN9 in the High Bay combined with the rapid progress of the next batch of prototypes, it’s fair to wonder what SpaceX’s plan is to wrap up 2020. Both Pad A and Pad B are operational at the launch site. SpaceX clarified as much in a release on its
Just days after SpaceX’s SN8 (Starship Number 8) put on a thrilling display in the skies over Boca Chica, the company has run into a small situation with its next fully built-out prototype, SN9. The fully-assembled prototype had been resting in the High Bay (the tallest of three massive storage/assembly buildings) at the production facility
Over the last 60 years, Earthlings have witnessed improbable successes in the field of rocketry, science and astronomy. We’ve literally put a probe into interstellar space (thank you, Voyager 2) where it is still sending back reading of what it sees out there. Let that sink in. We’ve put humans on the moon. We’ve
Today, SpaceX will launch Starship SN8 into high altitude. A live stream of the event will be at 7 a.m. EST. Yesterday, Elon Musk showed a picture of Starship on its launch pad.

After sending a request to the Federal Communications Commission, SpaceX is looking to further their testing of its Starlink satellite internet by connecting the network to an aircraft inflight In a Nov. 6 FCC filing the company wrote, “SpaceX seeks experimental authority for operation of one user terminal aboard each of up to five private
