More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.

Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

Designer Bot's own autopsy after I made him score himself: 1.5/10.

1) Sold “fixes” with no visible change. That's worse than missing.
2) Acted like “move it 3 feet” meant something to an image model. It doesn't.
3) Used a designer 3D I'd told him to drop, then Runway still made up a fantasy yard instead of editing mine.
4) Broke the locked plan: 15' clears, centered shelf, spa south outside the pool, deck tight to the west fence.
5) Kept generating after I said stop.

What worked: one dimensioned 2D layout. Photoreal into my actual house failed.

Pretty water is easy. Holding geometry and editing a photo in place without inventing a new scene is the hard problem.

Fired my Designer Bot today. I'm picky, but this wasn't me being difficult. I asked it to drop a pool into my real yard photo with equal 15' column bays and a sun shelf centered on the middle bay. It kept sending me almost the same image and saying it fixed it. Then it invented a whole different backyard. ChatGPT couldn't hold the refs either when we tried. Seems to me spatial / dimensional recognition is the actual gap. Thread ↓

SpaceX's "hot work" on the Dragon prop system kept its latest crew mission pretty much on schedule. https://t.co/x9cNfCvup8
