SpaceX just flung the doors open on the Starship HLS lunar lander and the view that greeted us is just stunning. Four astronauts are sitting in a circle of chairs, with their backs to the curved wall, which is as wide as a city bus. The sunlight streaming in is making the metal ribs underfoot look like polished silver. Above them, a massive 30-foot-high dome looms large – big enough to park a house in. With NASA breathing down their neck and demanding the schedule get cut down by months, SpaceX made the decision to rip out the seats, shelves and half the cargo racks.

October 13th, 2025 will be remembered as a turning point for SpaceX. At 6:23 p.m. local time, the Starship rocket blasted off from Starbase in South Texas. Flight 11 was the final hurrah for Starship’s Version 2, marking the beginning for some truly exciting times ahead. Standing an incredible 403 feet tall, this absolute behemoth of a machine carried the hope for landing on the moon, establishing colonies on Mars, and ushering in a new era of space travel.

Astronaut Don Pettit just returned from six months on the International Space Station and shared a cool video of a Starlink satellite train. His footage, shot from the ISS 250 miles above the Earth, shows the satellites lined up, their solar panels shining like sails in the void.

Starship’s upper stage has been in a fight and it shows, or more specifically, its 10th test flight. Its once shiny stainless steel body is now pockmarked with scars – orange streaks, charred tiles and bare metal – telling the story of survival against the forces of reentry.

SpaceX celebrated a significant milestone on August 26, 2025. At 7:30 p.m. EDT, the 400-foot-tall Starship megarocket illuminated the Starbase facility in South Texas. This was the tenth test flight, following months of setbacks, explosions, and persistent perseverance.

SpinLaunch, the company that used to launch satellites into orbit with a giant centrifuge, is taking on Starlink and Project Kuiper with its Meridian Space constellation. This low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite network will deliver high-speed internet to businesses worldwide. With $30 million in new funding, a partnership with Kongsberg NanoAvionics and a target for first customer connections by late 2026, SpinLaunch is making a big move into the satellite broadband market.

Honda just dropped a bombshell that nobody saw coming. They’re the champs of cars, bikes, and even those funky humanoid robots, but now their team’s gone full space-nerd, launching a reusable rocket up in Taiki Town, Hokkaido. This thing was no giant—it stood 6.3 meters tall, 85 centimeters wide, and weighed 900 kilos dry, or 1,312 kilos with its fuel tank full.
