It took one company 10 years to make renewable rockets the norm. I bet another 10 years will be enough to make it the standard for all launchers.

SpaceX just completed its 550th booster landing

Falcon booster B1093 stuck a perfect touchdown on OCISLY after its 9th flight, delivering more Starlink satellites from Vandenberg

From the first landing in 2015 to 550 today

The EU earned more from fines against top US companies than from income taxes on some of its own public companies. This is telling.

#Starlink is not a cheap alternative. It provides good connection, but it is still very expensive to win the African market.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starlink is providing Internet connectivity to schools and hospitals in Africa that had nothing or very expensive and bad connectivity before.

This will do more to lift people out of poverty than all the NGOs combined.

And still Trump continues to blame Zelensky...

The lesson from Spain & Poland at CM25 is simple: stop treating ESA as a subscription and start using it as an industrial + security engine. They put real money on ERS-EO, launchers, LEO-PNT, IRIS2. Either lead clear niches or slide to tier-2.

Poland and Spain have already realized the historic opportunity they've received with NASA's budget cuts. Unfortunately, the UK hasn't realized it (yet).

Soyuz MS-28 reached the ISS safely, but its Nov 27 launch badly damaged Baikonur’s only crewed pad. Russia now faces repairs and delays — but experts call it a setback, not the end of its crewed spaceflight.

What do you think about this?

For the 1st time ever, 8 spacecraft are docked to the International Space Station. Here is an illustration of how it looks right now since December 2025.

#Skyrora, with fewer than 200 employees, delivers results comparable to large #SpaceCompanies with over 1,000 employees. This is an excellent indicator that the company is worth investing in.

Countries with the most (10%+) and the least (1%-) foreign-born people.

Interesting how the concept of capitalism has changed. For example, Amazon today is no longer just a big capitalist retailer – it’s a technofeudal lord that owns the infrastructure, data, algorithms, other companies, governments, workers and consumers.

The bloated budget has been passed. The national debt has increased. DOGE is over. This "efficiency" rhetoric didn't even last a year. And it seems Elon Musk is no longer in politics.

This is Greenland, divided into two regions with equal populations

These three little red dots (the island's three largest settlements) and roughly the rest of Greenland have the same population.

The solar system is never depicted in its correct proportions. Otherwise, it would be a huge white ball and a few tiny dots.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The Sun is 99.8% of all mass in our solar system.

Even if you somehow burned Jupiter and everything that is not the Sun in a fusion reactor, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all energy.

The Sun is all that matters long-term.

This looks inspiring until you notice that introvert forgot the cart.

NVIDIA and AMD may abandon production of budget graphics cards due to the skyrocketing price of RAM.

The skyrocketing cost of video memory has made it simply unprofitable to produce low-end and mid-range cards, making it easier to abandon them.

[Jacob Alsopp @AlsoppJacob]

Rich nations are getting climate fatigue while China is outbuilding everyone in clean energy. That’s the real plot twist.

Solar is now cheaper than fossil fuels. So the “green race” isn’t moral anymore, it’s economic.
