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.
