Starship’s new "Crunch Wrap" Heat Shield

Try Storm MCP Now - https://workwith.headai.io/3VyiHwOIn this episode, we dive into the two-week aftermath of Starship’s milestone flight from Starbase, Texas. SpaceX Starship’s biggest challenge: building a reliable, fully reusable heat shield. We break down what went right and wrong on Flight 10, including the small but high-stakes experiment with metallic heat shield tiles and why most of the protective ceramic tiles finally stayed in place during reentry.You’ll learn how visible wear, color changes from oxidized metal, and surprising data on tile ablation are driving SpaceX’s next moves. Get the inside story on the newly developed "crunch wrap" material, how robotic assembly may offer faster and safer flights, and why this rapid-fire approach to engineering is essential for SpaceX's Mars ambitions. We preview what’s coming on Flight 11 and hear about the push toward orbital missions, in-flight propellant transfer, and making Starship ready for NASA’s Artemis program.If you want to understand how real-world flight tests are shaping the future of reusable rocketry and what’s next for the world’s biggest spaceship, this episode is for you.

SpaceX Working with Astronomers to Fix Starlink

SpaceX Working with Astronomers to Fix Starlink

SpaceX will tweak the orientation of the satellites as they fly toward higher orbits. By making the solar panels edge-on relative to Earth, each orbiter will reflect much less sunlight back toward the ground after their initial deployment, when they are brightest. Additionally, they will deploy a shield — similar to a patio umbrella or a car sun visor — which will block the light from hitting the highly reflective antennas in the first place. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/elonmusknewspod/supportSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/elon-musk-pod/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Launch Date Set for Crew Flight on SpaceX Rocket to International Space Station

Launch Date Set for Crew Flight on SpaceX Rocket to International Space Station

A new era of human spaceflight is set to begin as American astronauts once again launch on an American rocket from American soil to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:32 p.m. EDT on May 27, from Launch Complex 39A in Florida, for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission. The specific duration of the mission is to be determined. As the final flight test for SpaceX, this mission will validate the company’s crew transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, and operational capabilities. This also will be the first time NASA astronauts will test the spacecraft systems in orbit. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/elonmusknewspod/supportSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/elon-musk-pod/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
