The first stage is carrying the first prototype 'Fabships' for Besxar, a semiconductor manufacturing company. These microwave-sized devices are designed to produce ultra-pure materials for semiconductors in the vacuum of space. The company has booked 12 Falcon 9 flights to test and refine these "Clipper-class" Fabships. Two of the devices have been integrated into the rocket for the Starlink 10-50 mission and will be returned to Besxar following booster recovery. Our live coverage with commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will start about one hour prior to launch. [the time index is set to skip the first 59:56] Live: SpaceX...

🇺🇸 Using Starlink, American Kelsey Pfendler Broke 4 Records Rowing Solo from California to Hawaii 🇺🇸 On America’s 250th birthday, Kelsey Pfendler, an American woman and Grand Canyon raft guide, turned an audacious dream into history. During training, she was already doing “homework for my Starlink,” preparing the American-made satellite internet system that would keep her connected while rowing 2,400 miles solo and unsupported from Monterey, California to Oahu, Hawaii. On May 21, 2026, she launched alone in her 24-foot boat Lily. Forty-three days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes later (in the early hours of July 4, 2026) she crossed...

Ever since SpaceX announced that Starlink had partnered with T-Mobile to support direct cell phone to satellite communication, it seemed only a matter of time before SpaceX challenged existing carriers like AT&T and Verizon directly in the consumer cell phone service market. Directly from the President of SpaceX - President Gwynne Shotwell told investors during a recent IPO roadshow that SpaceX could build its own terrestrial mobile network Now an analysist is speculating that SpaceX could acquire T-Mobile instead of building it's on terrestrial network of cell towers. https://www.investors.com/news/technology/spacex-stock-spcx-elon-musk-acquire-tmobile-wireless-firm/ If this turns out to be true, it would be a...

Airbus, Leonardo and Thales announced Thursday that they will combine their satellite and space activities to form a “leading European player in space,” as the region looks for a homegrown rival to Elon Musk’s Starlink. The companies — each a heavyweight in the aerospace and defense sector in their own right — said the joint venture would develop and build, “a comprehensive portfolio of complementary technologies and end-to-end solutions, from space infrastructure to services.” The development of space launchers will be excluded from the new company’s operations. The combined entity is expected to generate mid-triple-digit million euros in annual synergies...

🚀 The Q1 Rocket Report is out. SpaceX's market share of launch (both by kg to orbit and by number of spacecraft launched) is now 99% in the U.S. and 86% globally. China, Russia, and "other U.S." dropped from the prior quarter. Number of spacecraft launched grew 35% YOY.

The most anticipated IPO in history will hit the market next week. When Elon Musk is involved, opinions tend to be firmly on one side or the other. In the case of the IPO S-1 filing , mention of colonizing Mars and mining asteroids only adds to the division. Today we are avoiding the spectacle and having a look at what the business is really about: the opportunities, the challenges and what the listing could mean for investors.

In a significant development for the tech and semiconductor industries, Apple and Intel have struck a preliminary agreement under which Intel will manufacture some of the chips that power Apple devices. The news, reported by Robbie Whelan and Rolfe Winkler for The Wall Street Journal on May 8, 2026, marks a notable comeback effort for Intel and highlights ongoing efforts to strengthen domestic U.S. chip production. The Role of the Trump Administration: The U.S. government played a pivotal role in facilitating the deal. Last summer, the Trump administration converted nearly $9 billion in federal grants into a roughly 10% stake...

Yes, Elon Musk is significantly richer than the combined wealth of all British billionaires. As of early May 2026: Elon Musk's net worth is approximately $800–840 billion (Forbes real-time estimates around $789B–$839B recently, with peaks above $840B). All UK billionaires combined: There are roughly 54–55 British billionaires with a total net worth of about £185 billion (~$230–245 billion USD). Musk's fortune alone is roughly 3–3.5 times the total wealth of every UK billionaire. Even the top UK individuals (e.g., Michael Platt ~$19–21B, Jim Ratcliffe ~$17–18B, James Dyson ~$15B) are each a small fraction of Musk's wealth. Key Context Net worth...

In a nutshell: His brother was wounded during the January uprisings. He went to visit his brother at the hospital, but the IRGC confiscated his electronics. When he went back to retrieve his electronics, IRGC took him to his home, where they found out he had a Starlink device. He was severely beaten, and a few days later his body was released to his family. At less than 20% popular support, the IRGC rules only via fear. It is busy executing and killing Iranians

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket. “Test Like You Fly” launches a series that takes you inside the factories and onto the launch pads where humanity's future in space is unfolding.

AXIOM released this statement after I published the video: "Axiom Space is delivering the most advanced spacesuit ever built for human lunar exploration -- and we're doing it with the urgency the Artemis campaign demands. To date, we've logged more than 950 hours of crewed pressurized testing, completed the first thermal vacuum test of the pressure garment, and delivered over 1,300 products toward critical design review, which we're on track to complete this year. We remain confident in our path to a 2027 demonstration and to supporting America's return to the lunar surface in 2028. "We appreciate the OIG's continued...

@elonmusk South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

Operation Epic Fury marks a turning point in the art of war. The key to 20th-century battles was air power. In the past, space and cyber activities have traditionally played supporting roles as so-called force multipliers. But this is no longer the case. In this conflict they have become mainstream, carving out new fronts for the wars of the future. The use of space is no longer something that is just nice to have, because everything from comms to intel to navigation uses space and cyber assets. Along with the National Reconnaissance Office, which manages US spy satellites, the US...

The SpaceX initial public offering (“IPO”) is expected to be the largest IPO of all time, with the company targeting a market capitalization of $1.75 trillion, according to the Financial Times. Despite the massive valuation and huge anticipation for the company’s public debut, there are a few under-the-radar details about the IPO that should chill investors looking to participate in the Elon Musk-helmed company.The Financial Times reported that SpaceX is looking to raise $75 billion from the offering, up recently from a target of $50 billion, as executives look to haul in more cash at the company’s highest valuation of...
