Crazy how much progress has been accomplished over the course of 4 years on Starship
From the 150m hop of Star Hopper to 4 years later successfully launching the most heaviest, powerful rocket in the world.
You can’t lie, the @SpaceX team @elonmusk has is truly incredible! 😍

🚨 SPACEX JUST GOT FAA APPROVAL TO TEST ITS NEW “STARFALL” CAPSULES.
These are not regular reentry vehicles.
SpaceX’s new circular Starfall capsules are designed to bring up to 1,000 kg of payload back from orbit safely, repeatedly, and at scale.
They can launch on either Falcon 9 or Starship, perform in-space manufacturing, then reenter and splash down in the Pacific for rapid recovery.
Why this matters:
• Enables true commercial in-space manufacturing (microgravity + vacuum) that can be returned to Earth
• Could become a “proliferated successor” to the ISS for self-sustaining space industry
• Opens the door to rapid point-to-point cargo delivery from orbit to anywhere on Earth
• Directly competes with companies like Varda that have been flying similar missions on SpaceX rockets
The deeper implication is massive:
We are moving from “occasional experiments in space” to routine manufacturing and logistics in orbit.
If Starfall works at scale, companies could build factories in space, produce high-value materials that can’t be made on Earth, and ship them back down regularly all without needing a full space station.
This is one of the clearest steps yet toward a real, self-sustaining commercial space economy.
What do you think will in-space manufacturing finally become a serious industry, or is this still too early?

This is Bitcoin priced in U.S. Treasuries (BTC/TLT).
It's still trading below its 200-day moving average cloud.
If bulls want to materially improve their argument, at least secure this breakout and then watch for $BTCUSD do to the same thing.
Right now, it's a rejection.
This one was taken from a *slightly* safer spot and is my favorite shot from the launch- and is also available in print if you want to support my future sacrificial lenses 😉
