SpaceX

The space agency is enlisting the private firm to build an International Space Station vehicle that will ‘destructively break up’ along with the station when it is retired in 2030.

The latest wrinkle in the long-standing feud between billionaire CEOs Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk sees the former lodge a public complaint with the regulator.

It’s a momentous occasion for SpaceX as both Starship and the Super Heavy booster successfully splashed down back on Earth.

The semireusable space capsule has a new launch target after yet another issue postponed its first crewed flight to Wednesday at the earliest.

Starliner crews are contending with what NASA describes as a ‘design vulnerability’ that could prevent the spacecraft from performing a deorbit burn.

The postponement marks the fifth delay to the long-awaited mission, which would be the first time humans have flown on Starliner.

The spacecraft’s inaugural crewed flight test will now occur no earlier than 4:43 p.m. EDT on Tuesday after teams discover a new issue.

Musk’s timeline would place Starship’s fourth orbital test flight sometime in June, but SpaceX will need to wait for the FAA to wrap up its investigation.

The company proposes installing infrastructure that would support as many as 44 Starship launches annually but will first need to pass an environmental assessment.

SpaceX reveals its first-generation extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuits, designed to be worn in the vacuum of space as well as the confines of a spacecraft.
