@SpaceX This is so lit to share the hardware/process our teams worked so hard on with the world. Also the soundtracks used on this video is so hype! #gospacex #gostarship

VIDEO OF CHANG ZHENG 10B CATCH

That's... a lot of smoke from the interstage lol. But they caught it!

This capability allowed SpaceX to become *the* launch superpower. China could now do that too.

The Cape Gigabay is getting closer to being ready for Starship! Teams recently installed the 420-ton crane – which we’ll use to break over and move Starships and Super Heavy boosters preparing for flight. One step closer to the Moon and Mars 🚀🚀🚀

@elonmusk @SpaceXAI Been using grok 4.5 on my Hermes instance and it has been a night and day difference. So much better than my local model I was running. Nice work @SpaceXAI

[Gwynne Shotwell @Gwynne_Shotwell]

My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation.

Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home.

We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars.

A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

I just paid for dinner at a restaurant owned by SpaceX, with money SpaceX gave me, on a card owned by SpaceX.

@Scout_Motors Would be cool if you guys ever get around to producing them.

Em Engenharia existe um conceito chamado Fator de Encagaçamento. O cliente diz que a ponte vai ser usada por no máximo caminhões de 20 toneladas. O engenheiro leva em conta que SEMPRE vai ter um arrombado levando 30 toneladas que vai ignorar a placa de limite de peso. Adiciona a isso o treliça mal-feita pq o peão estava mais bêbado que o normal, o cimento xing-ling misturado com raspa de coco e o vergalhão reciclado. Aí ele projeta a ponte para 40 toneladas.

Esperemos que seja o caso.
