CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX’s Elon Musk said Thursday that the first orbital flight of his towering Starship — the world’s most powerful rocket ever built — could come in another month or two.Musk provided his first major Starship update in more than two years while standing alongside the 390-foot rocket at SpaceX’s Texas spaceport. He urged the nighttime crowd, “Let’s make this real!”NASA plans to use the fully reusable Starship to land astronauts on the moon as early as 2025.

“There will probably be a few bumps in the road, but we want to iron those out with satellite missions and test missions” before putting people on board, he said. SpaceX’s Super Heavy first-stage booster has yet to blast off. But the futuristic, bullet-shaped, steel Starship — perched on top and serving as the upper stage — successfully launched and landed on its own last May, following a series of spectacular explosions. The rocketship soared more than 6 miles .

Needed a little bit of good news today.

Hope he wasn't counting on the forty communication satellites. I suppose he's not sweating it because insurance will pay, and we will pay the insurance companies.

Is Jodie Foster on standby or is she playing it safe in China? We all remember what happened last time! :)

Stop hyping up this racist man.

In other words, another Starship is going to blow up next month.

Does ELOn have the hesdspace to mission drive these Q's thru his ideascoper ...,? elonmusk

Reminder that Musk was born into a South African mob family, making him a legacy mob asset. He is not a genius, visionary, or billionaire; he just plays one in the Propagandasphere. Instead, his companies are used to launder dirty money from the ugliest of trafficking +

Musk is a great innovator! He's doing awesome things I only dreamed of seeing in my lifetime. I wish him and his companies all the best.

Awesome, please strap yourself onto the nose cone of said starship and set the controls for the heart of the sun, Elon.

For some reason I don't think people are buying his grift.

The bumps in the road are the people his cars ran over in 'Aggressive Autopilot' mode.

Where's Austin Powers when we need him?

says the man who promised fully autonomous cars in 6 months for the last 5 years

He’s saying this coincidentally on the day he’s sued over racism at Tesla and its revealed horrific animal cruelty has happened due to his brain chips

Anything on Yemen?

Assuming there's no mid flight recalls.

SpaceX Satellites Falling Out of Orbit After Solar StormSpaceX’s newest fleet of satellites is tumbling out of orbit after being struck by a solar storm These satellites aren't going to 'fall down'. Falling out of orbit means not achieving orbital position. It'll be a long time b4 these small satellites re-enter Earth's atmosphere & burn up. Point 2: The solar storm interfered with telemetry. It wasn't 'magnetic repositioning'.

SpaceX satellites falling out of orbit after solar stormSpaceX's newest fleet of satellites is tumbling out of orbit after being struck by a solar storm. According to SpaceX, the speed and severity of the solar storm warmed Earth's atmosphere, thus increasing atmospheric density at the low-orbit altitude of the satellites, essentially creating intense friction or drag that knocked out at least 40 of the satellites.
