Next Starship flight on 9/22

SpaceX is currently targeting Starship Flight 14 for September 22 🚀 And this flight is a huge step beyond everything Starship has done so far Flight 14 will attempt to: • Reach stable Low Earth Orbit for the first time • Deploy production Starlink V3 satellites into orbit • Become Starship’s first revenue-generating mission • Attempt the full orbital mission profile from launch → deployment → deorbit → reentry • Push the V3 heat shield through another major test • Continue proving Raptor 3, guidance, landing burns and vehicle control needed for rapid reuse The hardware: • Super Heavy Booster 21 • Starship Ship 41 • Third flight of the Starship V3 architecture • 33 Raptor 3 engines on Super Heavy • 6 Raptor engines on Starship • Launching from Pad 2 at Starbase After liftoff, Super Heavy will separate from Starship, perform its boostback and return for a controlled ocean splashdown No tower catch is planned for Flight 14 The really big part happens with Ship 41 Instead of following another suborbital trajectory, Starship will continue into orbit Then it will deploy production Starlink V3 satellites into stable LEO That is a massive milestone by itself Flight 13 proved Starship could deploy V3 satellites in space....Flight 14 is the first time Starship is expected to actually leave production V3 satellites in orbit And these satellites are monsters Each Starlink V3 is designed for: • 1 Tbps of downlink capacity • 160 Gbps of uplink capacity • 2,048 beams in each direction • Six 400 Gbps laser links Eventually a single Starship will be able to carry up to 60 V3 satellites....adding around 60 Tbps of Starlink capacity in ONE launch Around 20× the downlink capacity deployed by a Falcon 9 Starlink launch After payload deployment, Ship 41 will perform its deorbit sequence and come back through the atmosphere That means another major test of: • The orbital heat shield • Flap control through reentry • Guidance during the return • Raptor relight • Landing flip and burn Ship 41 will then return for a controlled ocean splashdown And the next step is already lined up....Elon has confirmed Flight 15 is planned for the first attempt to bring Starship all the way back to the tower and catch it But Flight 14 comes first Reach orbit....Deploy real Starlink V3 satellites.....Come back through reentry This is where things start getting very real

SpaceX says they've made several upgrades to Starship's heatshield for test flight 14: The upgrades include additional retention mechanisms added to tiles in areas deemed to be at highest risk of falling off during ascent, addressing recently discovered areas that offer flow paths behind tiles for plasma, and flying multiple areas with a curved tile design that has shown the ability to reduce heating in the gaps between tiles. Lastly, two tiles recovered from Ship 40 are planned to be reflown on Ship 41, marking the first tile reuse for Starship. Looking forward to the launch!

Ever wake up and want to build a company? I'm building one today with @poteto & @roshan_s nitter.click/i/broadcasts/1AxRnZbVp…

Trump calling @JensenHuang live during @theallinpod interview. “The grt thing about Jensen is that he can create the best AI chip in the world but can’t figure out how to put me on speaker phone.” They agree that AI is safe, grt for jobs, economic growth & natl security. 😂🇺🇸🚀

True

Elon just gave a much more practical explanation of the current AI safety problem....and laid out a practical framework for making frontier AI safer OpenAI and Anthropic are the two leading AI companies....and their models are close enough in capability that it’s incredibly difficult for either one to slow down without basically handing the lead to the other Elon also made an important distinction: On balance, Anthropic puts more care into safety than OpenAI....but even people inside Anthropic are publicly worried about what their own models can do So instead of asking one company to voluntarily fall behind, Elon’s solution is much more practical: Have Anthropic run its safety test harness on OpenAI models Have OpenAI test Anthropic Have SpaceXAI test both And bring the leading Chinese AI companies into the same system Everyone tries to break everyone else’s models before release “The odds that you will find issues are dramatically greater” That makes way more sense than asking frontier labs to grade their own homework

ELON MUSK: I saw some pretty funny jokes on 𝕏. One of them I saw was: 'Your girlfriend's a 10, but she's a benchmark maxxer.' 🤣

Wow

Physics is a harsh judge

All-In

This might be the best political chart ever made…

This is the way

ELON MUSK: “Physics is a harsh judge. There’s no fooling physics. Physics is the law, and everything else is a recommendation. I’ve seen people break the laws made by humans, but I’ve not seen anyone break the laws made by physics. The rockets are ruled by physics.”
