To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life

Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas in new @SpaceX note on Starship flight 15: "Flight 15 (~1 month from now) is shaping up as SpaceX's biggest test towards Starship reusability since the IPO, with Flight 16 (targeted before year-end) potentially an even bigger one. Our message to investors: We anticipate developments over the forthcoming weeks/months could help profoundly evolve investor expectations about SpaceX's role in converting energy into intelligence at scale through physical agents - robots to help build economically multiplicative technologies for future generations. We believe reducing launch costs by a further order of magnitude (thanks to Starship) while significantly increasing mass to orbit could create new economies and new demand for materials, devices and services on earth that currently do not exist. Going forward, each Starship launch of Starlink is equivalent to min 1 month worth of Falcon 9 launches. After a successful deployment of 26 Starlink V3 satellites on Flight 14, we expect a repeat or potential even larger load of satellites on the next flight (Starship fits up to 60). Each Starlink V3 has 10x the downlink capacity of the v2 mini sats currently launching on Falcon 9 every ~3 days. This means Flight 15 would equate to 1-2+ months of F9 launches." Adam maintained his $300 $SPCX price target.

Saw our first Tesla Cybercab in Dallas. I hope to ride in one during our visit. @josstwits - might be interested in this.

A giant leap to Mars! 🚀 NASA recently completed testing of a lithium-fed electromagnetic thruster, reaching 5x more power than today's electric propulsion systems. Paired with a nuclear power source, this tech could slash travel time to Mars! MORE: go.nasa.gov/4goVg4g…

30 some years ago, Assassin's Apprentice came out in the US in Trade Paper Back. Today's news? in its 13th printing, it's going back for 49,000 copies. Ship of Magic is only in 8th printing, but another 10,000 copies to be printed. New writers, please believe in your books!

Great article. Well written. Very interesting. I only wish there was more emphasis on exponential growth. To talk about 20 years or longer from now fails to put the speed in perspective.

Great article about the challenges of getting power back on for today's power grids - especially once there is no power. I feel like this is an area where engineering could build a better grid. arstechnica.com/science/2025… – at Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Starship’s sixth flight test aimed to push the vehicle to its limits as we iterate towards a rapidly reusable rocket. Up next: a new ship, new year, and new limits. Excitement still guaranteed → spacex.com/launches/mission/…
