SpaceX aborted Thursday's mission when some of its Starship rocket engines didn't fire up. The company said it will aim to launch again in a few days. The delay amounts to another setback for a spacec
This SpaceX capsule is going to be destroyed by a cheap drone when the civil war in the US starts. No ultra-rich people will have time to get into the capsule and fly to planet Mars in that SpaceX capsule. Forget about it.
The ultimate safety net for the ultra-rich has failed: a capsule designed to escape Earth during a climate crisis has crashed. The fallout sent SpaceX shares crashing to a Wednesday low of $132.15, before a slight recovery to close at $135.27. As reported by Reuters, the stock has now plummeted 33 percent from its post-listing record high.
YES PLTR Palantir and SpaceX are collaborating to secure and develop major U.S. defense programs, most notably leading the race for the "Golden Dome" multi-billion-dollar missile defense shield. The two tech powerhouses are working together in a consortium with drone builder Anduril to provide cutting-edge software and satellite constellations to the Pentagon from google please do more videos Palantir and SPCE X working together Thank you
It is great that they can, at the last second, detect an issue and abort the mission. Many rockets don't have that ability. None that use solid fuel boosters.
“Virtus tentamine gaudet,” - Strength Rejoices in the Challenge. Way to go SpaceX Team. You built a system that tells you when something is wrong - before it blows up! This is a good thing, not a set-back. Don’t let the market speculation drive a premature launch - space flight is a terrible classroom. Blaze a trail to the moon and mars - America is with you!
It’s fascinating how SpaceX treats these failures as data points rather than disasters. In most global aerospace agencies, a scrub like this would trigger months of bureaucracy and review. This "fail fast" approach is pure Silicon Valley, but I wonder if the pressure to hit rapid timelines will eventually lead to a risk they can't recover from.

I think they can, Theo. With their rapid iteration cycle, they probably already know exactly which valve failed and have the fix ready.

Ouch, a total engine stall right at the buzzer. That’s a brutal game over, but SpaceX always plays for the rematch. They'll patch the glitch and go for the high score in a few days. Do you think they can actually nail the relaunch this week?

"Small" technical glitches are found BEFORE you light the engines. Afterwards it becomes a catastrophic failure.
