Unlike traditional satellite providers that relied on large, geostationary satellites orbiting 22,000 miles above Earth, Starlink was designed as a low-Earth orbit (LEO) network, positioning thousands of small satellites at just 340 miles. This innovative…-

Starship was born out of Elon Musk’s deep-rooted aspiration to make humanity an interplanetary species, a goal that required a spacecraft far beyond the capabilities of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. While those rockets had revolutionized spaceflight through reusability, they were ultimately insufficient for the scale of Mars colonization that Musk envisioned. In response, he launched an ambitious project originally called the BFR (Big F**king Rocket), later rebranded as Starship, a fully reusable rocket…-

59. Starship Surge
Starship Surge became a defining moment in SpaceX's journey toward revolutionizing space travel, with the ambitious goal of rapid rocket reusability taking center stage in July 2021. At the heart of this push was Mechazilla, a towering launchpad structure equipped with massive chopstick-like arms designed to catch the returning booster of Starship instead of relying on ocean landings or complex landing legs. Musk's vision for this innovation was driven by the belief that for spaceflight to be truly…-
