Time for a price hike? What price would be needed for launches for commercial sats to be more profitable that adding Starlinks? These folks better hope Starship gets very productive very soon, since I doubt you will see a New Glenn or Vulcan launch this year.
Its back! More data ....
WTF?
Rocket is fully reusable, can carry 4 astronauts to LEO or HEO, then de-orbit and land using either engines and landing legs or parachutes if landing in water. Later versions that carry the second stage could reach TLI and lunar orbit.
XAI will become the revenue leader soon ... our workers will train the LLM ...

On the plains of Grimes County, Texas, ground is breaking on what promises to be the largest manufacturing facility on Earth. Known as Terafab, the joint mega-venture between SpaceX, Tesla, and Intel represents a pivotal paradigm shift in aerospace architecture. It is not just another semiconductor plant but the computational backbone for humanity's multi-planetary future.
While rockets and spacecraft dominate conversations about reaching Mars, the bottleneck of 21st-century space exploration is silicon. Terafab aims to produce over one terawatt of AI compute per year under a single, vertically integrated 100-million-square-foot roof. From radiation-hardened microprocessors to autonomous robotics, this facility is designed to bridge the gap between Earth-bound computing power and the deep-space infrastructure needed to establish a permanent human presence on Mars.
I guess in the IPO they put I "Elon can promise whatever he wants and you can't sue him". While a Lunar railgun might be cost effective at creating a large object at NHRO, you need to apply a lot of DV to get that material to say MEO for those datacenters ... say 3 km/s off the moon in the rail gun (100s of g's) and then 3 km/s to put it into a useful low MEO orbit (requires some sort of substantial kick-stage engine or thruster) ... so you need to take the fuel from LEO to the Moon ~6.5 km/s + 3 km/s to get it back to Low MEO. Not much of a savings over just going from the ground to low MEO ~ 10 km/s.
Good one from Angry ... balanced and factual. The big news is that it looks like the BE-4 is implicated in the static fire explosion (not a shocker) ... grounding both NG and Vulcan for a year? In any case SX is going to put up 6-8 Amazon LEO sets over the next year, and maybe Ariane 6 a few more. Compare to maybe 80 Starlink V2 mini launches and potentially 4 Starlink V3 launches.
Cool looking building, there goes some more IPO + New Bond Debt Money (was $100B cash) ... Cursor was $30B (but maybe some stock vs cash) so $80B left ... now $16.8B for this ... $65B left ... how about Telsa (for space bots, solar power, power storage, AI5 chips and EV rovers?) ... then sell the rest of the car business ... it now a mature segment with little upside story past the Semi (which still has not gone to voulme production)..
