Wild part: it worked even in mice with no T or B cells, so it isn't leaning on the immune system at all.
Big question for humans: Proteus mirabilis is a known infection bug. Can they keep the tumor-killing without the sepsis risk? Team says ~6 yrs to Phase 1.
FDA just drafted a path where one approval covers a whole family of custom gene edits.
New patient-specific variant inside the approved bounds? Add it with lab data. No new clinical trial.
Ultra-rare mutations finally get a business model. Who uses it first?
Both vehicles cleared preflight testing. Big question for Flight 15: do they try to catch the ship this time? A ship catch is the piece that makes Starship fully reusable, and without it 30 launches a day from Louisiana is just a slide.
SpaceX told the FAA its planned Starbase Louisiana is built for ~30 launches + reentries a DAY. Musk: 10k Starship launches/yr from that site alone.
All FAA-licensed launches in 2025: 182.
SpaceX says the bottleneck is now airspace rules, not rockets. Agree?

🚨 ELON IS PUTTING AMERICA BACK ON THE MOON.
Starship is in the lab getting tested right now. The rocket that can refuel in zero-g and carry the heavy lift NASA needs.
While Bezos is building a lander, Musk is proving the architecture that actually scales. Refuel in orbit. Land heavy. Stay longer.
NASA’s latest plans include the buggies, VIPER rover, and hopping drones. Starship is the one that can deliver the real payload to make a base work.
First moon base mission under Trump’s policy launches in weeks. Elon is already showing NASA the refueling demo that makes the whole thing possible.
By the end of 2027 the hardware will be ready for the real push. This time we stay.
Making the upper stage the satellite itself is smart, nothing gets thrown away. The hard part is heat: ~1 MW per unit with only radiators to shed it. Fairing-as-radiator is clever, but can that scale toward 20,000 sats with first flight in 2028?
Verizon's CEO: Starlink needs 65-80K cell sites, $300-500B and at least 4-6 years to become a real US carrier.
Musk: "Will take 2 or 3 years."
SpaceX is already chasing 80K tower leases plus 800MHz spectrum. Who's closer on the timeline?
