Starship Flight 14 may spend hours and multiple orbits around Earth before attempting to return to Starbase. Here is how SpaceX could use that time to test cryogenic boiloff, propellant settling, RF fuel gauges, delayed Raptor restart, power, navigation, and the systems Flight 15 may need for a long-duration orbital refueling mission.

The  city of Starbase , a municipality closely tied to  Elon Musk’s SpaceX , is currently seeking to  expand its borders  by annexing over 7,000 acres of land in  south Texas . This growth strategy aims to bolster the company's  rocket manufacturing and launch capabilities  for future missions to the  moon and Mars . However, the proposal has sparked significant  backlash from local activists...

SpaceX wants Starship Flight 14 to carry viable payloads into orbit and then bring the upper stage back to the launch tower for its first catch attempt.

Claude wins on writing quality, instruction-following, long-document analysis, and agentic work. ChatGPT wins on image generation, voice, custom GPTs, and ecosystem breadth. Where Claude pulls ahead. For anything...

I'm building a paid community platform in the open, and this stream is where the work happens. The idea is simple. Social media broke when it started optimizing for clicks and outrage. The feeds got loud, the news got dumped, and connecting with people got buried under engagement bait. This is an attempt at the opposite. A paid space with real identity, reverse-chronological feeds, threaded discus...

Day 1 of building a million dollar AI app. I'm 20 years into software development and I use AI agents and tools like Lovable to ship faster than I ever could by hand.
