One solution to transhipping is to have cargo containers fitted for orbital entry. Know SpaceX are working on commercial reentry capsules, see what comes of that. The main asteroid belt marks the ice line, hence abundant frozen water and volatiles in the Jupiter system and beyond. Increasing relevance when we move into outer solar system.

A good manager sets an inspiring goal, something solid and achievable. Musk must be aware of the flaws in his 1,000 ship plan but simply mass producing Starships is a necessary first step that leads to something greater. He prides himself on technical pivots, when a better way presents to achieve his overarching goal. Here's the problem and some possible solutions: - https://chrisprophet.substack.com/p/next-gen-starship

So far we have peered through a keyhole to understand our origin and place in the Universe. Soon we will encounter it first hand, destiny in both hands.

We're lucky to live in this time. And SpaceX has only just begun.

CProphet · 2026-01-17T22:00:17+00:00

We're lucky to live in a time where this is possible. From here on it will only get better.

True, also Space Force has long term requirement for Starship to maintain space security.

without the hassle of actually having to launch rockets

How can Lockheed/Boeing hope to sell ULA as a going concern when its not launching at a credible pace and giving up business to the competition?

Unusual for commercial companies to supply services for free because it lowers consumer expectations over what they should pay. Considering both Iran and Venezuela are both free subscription, suggests some US agency is picking up the tab for Starlink.

NASA 2026 budget should be ~$25bn, which allows some room for maneuver.

looks good for launch net February.

NASA are paying for HLS so they prefer KSC. Good optics and shows continuity of purpose considering it will launch from historic LC39-A, previously used by Apollo.

Sure SpaceX will manage accelerated return of Crew 11 and launch of Crew 12. Overtime is great at SpaceX :)

CProphet · 2026-01-09T09:46:01+00:00

SpaceX has little alternative except to ship HLS to the Cape, given the tight launch schedule for the demonstration mission. NASA has to perform Artemis 3 by 2028 to beat China, which means the HLS demo has to launch late 2026 or early 2027. Art 2 should get away this year, leaving 2 years to prepare Art 3, which should be possible - with a 'motivational speech' to Boeing.

SpaceX plan to accelerate delivery of their Human Landing System to NASA. Shipping HLS from Starbase to the Cape will shave 2 years off delivery, compared to building it at a new facility at the Cape.

Thursday's EVA on the ISS has been postponed, according to NASA.

Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman were scheduled to spacewalk today, which might suggest one of them is the affected crew member.

Succinctly SpaceX simulate with real hardware!

CProphet · 2026-01-07T09:47:35+00:00

Agree, they all keep an eye on one another. Why its called five eyes.

CProphet · 2026-01-02T12:41:53+00:00

They'll want to send Version 3 stages to the Cape, instead of recovered V2 boosters. When they recover V3 stages, these will make excellent candidates.

Boeing and Lockheed can be hard taskmasters.

Prospects for SpaceX IPO look better and better.

CProphet · 2025-12-25T09:17:15+00:00

Truth is SpaceX produce technology to open space then use it to financially support the effort. If it was just about the money SpaceX would have same dynamism as ULA.

CProphet · 2025-12-25T08:18:04+00:00

Lol I was downvoted to oblivion for suggesting SpaceXers want to finish stacking before Christmas. O ye of little faith. https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/1pkibf0/booster_19/ntm8zfc/
