A chunk of foam doomed Columbia because its heat shield had no backup. Starship's answer: a steel hull, 18,000 pinned hexagonal tiles, and an ablative layer underneath. Losing a tile is now survivable. Reflying the same shield the next day? Still unsolved.

New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: anthropic.com/engineering/re…
