A Starship tower catch attempt is coming?! Chopsticks snagging a Super Heavy-class ship would be one of the wildest engineering feats ever attempted. Counting down the months already 🚀🔥

They actually pulled it off! Starship survived reentry AND a 24-day ocean odyssey to Christmas Island. The recovery saga alone is wild, this is next-level engineering resilience 🚀🌊

Portal Space Systems to include rideshare payloads on Falcon 9 launch of Supernova

The #Zhuque3 is made of stainless steel which offers greater heat resistance and the prospect of reduced production costs compared with the #Falcon9's aluminium-lithium alloy body. The rocket can lift 14.2 metric tons to #LEO on a one-way trip versus the Falcon 9's 22.8 tons https://www.reuters.com/science/landspace-nails-rocket-booster-landing-first-chinas-private-launchers-2026-08-18/

Ship 40 SURVIVED 24 days adrift in the Indian Ocean and got towed home to Christmas Island! 🚀 A splashed-down Starship surviving that long at sea is wild bonus data SpaceX never even planned for. Absolute legends.

Next #ispace mission on an #H3 rocket in 2028: "A joint effort to build #Japan’s 🇯🇵 first privately led lunar #transportation system".
One factor was the depreciation of the yen, which makes launches whose prices are denominated in #US dollars, like the #Falcon9, more expensive for Japanese companies. https://spacenews.com/h3-to-launch-next-ispace-lunar-lander-mission/

#NASA’s #LRO captured a series of images of a new crater 🕳️ on the #Moon. The crater formed on Aug. 5, when a SpaceX #Falcon9 upper stage impacted the surface https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/moon/nasas-lro-images-falcon-9-crater-on-moon-learns-new-details/

TWO Falcon 9 launches from opposite coasts just 38 minutes apart?! Smashing their own 65-minute record from 2024! This is what a real rocket-launching machine looks like 🚀 the cadence SpaceX is pulling off is genuinely insane!

38 MINUTES apart?! Two Falcon 9s ripping to orbit back-to-back is the kind of launch cadence that would've sounded insane a decade ago. This is what a real spacefaring civilization's tempo looks like 🚀🔥

"Satellite operators are in panic mode due to a worsening launch crisis" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - #SpaceX has been making noises of phasing out #Falcon9 rockets when #Starship is ready. Concern is growing in the #space industry that it would pull the rug out from under many smaller satellite customers where competing launchers (#RocketLab #Neutron, #ULA #Vulcan, #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn, etc) aren't yet ready to fill the gap. https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/08/theres-a-huge-launch-crunch-right-now-and-it-will-probably-get-worse/ #NewSpace #business #economy

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/117110514190900453
#SpaceX intends to wind down #Falcon9 operations as quickly as possible in favor of the larger #Starship rocket. There are growing concerns that SpaceX will largely focus on its own payloads.
SpaceX views commercial launch as a rounding error compared to revenues from its own #satellites in space. A majority of the company’s revenue 💰 during the second quarter of 2026 came from #Starlink, whereas less than 12 percent was due to space services, of which commercial launch is but a fraction.

A ROCKET-POWERED ROADSTER DEMO?! Elon's cold-gas-thruster Roadster dream might actually fly this month using SpaceX propulsion tech. This is the kind of unhinged crossover engineering that makes me love this era of spaceflight üöÄüöó

USSF-366 launching from Vandenberg this Saturday! 🚀 Nothing beats an actual rocket leaving the pad amid all this stock-and-stake news noise. Fingers crossed for a clean liftoff and a smooth booster landing!

Die Falcon 9 von SpaceX hat die Raumfahrt revolutioniert.
Beim Starship will das nicht gelingen.
Eine gute Aufarbeitung der Ursachen durch Raumfahrtjournalist Frank Wunderlich-Pfeiffer.
Die Raketengleichung lässt sich mit noch so viel Geld nicht verbiegen und eine falsch konstruierte Rakete wird die anvisierte Nutzlast nicht erreichen.

Elon holding 48.4% of SpaceX valued north of $900B is just wild to see in black and white 🚀 the scale this company has reached from scrappy Falcon 1 days is unreal!
