    “Edges closer to Mars goal” – that’s being generous.

      Its got reusable upper stage and larger payload volume and weight capacity, so it is edging closer to mars.

      Your shortsighted and it’s hilarious.

    They pushed this test flight ship to it’s absolute limits to work towards what the bare minimums and the extreme maximums are. They fine tuning the designs. Compared to the previous test flights, this one was a huge success, start to finish. Congrats to the SpaceX team! 🚀

    In space orbital refueling is worth nothing if Starship keeps exploding. This should be priority number one. And it needs to stop exploding numerous times before getting any astronaut in it.

      They have the crew dragon and the most advanced and experienced life support system than any other country

    Very much dislike Elon, but this IS cool tech and the engineers building it are doing some pretty amazing work in pretty short periods of time.

    • @TheMagicJIZZ

      August 27, 2025 at 6:39 pm

      Elon is the chief engineer so you like him

      Just admit for god sake. If Elon didn’t have a physics degree he wouldn’t of started spaceX

      lot of people hate you. and lot of people like him. remember you are dork and have an insignificant opinion

    SpaceX’s Starship IFT-10 just pulled off its wildest flight yet — a flawless launch, a two-engine booster landing, satellites deployed like candy from a PEZ dispenser… and then the drama: a suspected aft-skirt blowout, a glowing bay door, and a flap that literally burned through on re-entry. Was that fire inside the ship, or just sunlight playing tricks? Let’s break down what really went right… and what went very wrong.

    12 years in development and not a single orbit

    • @TheMagicJIZZ

      August 27, 2025 at 6:38 pm

      It’s only been in development since 2018

      Anything before that was the BFR, ITS before that the XX falcon so the current stainless steel didn’t exist until 2018 Elon changed the design from carbon composite

    A great achievement and to be celebrated, but Mars ? No, despite the advances, it has actually taken Musk and SpaceX 23 years to get here. Also, unless it escapes anyone’s notice, humans last steeped on the Moon, a mere 3 days flight away, in 1972… 53 years ago. There are many hurdles to overcome just to return to the moon and commercially there needs to be an incentive, not just a wish for humanity to become multiplanetary. Missions lasting years in environments of extreme prolonged radiation, without air, water and freezing cold temperatures require technologies still on the drawing board and materials not yet in existence. We surely can get rockets and robots to Mars but humans is maybe a leap too far. I don’t expect to see a human on mars in what remains of my life and I am 71. That said, there are stepping stones we might achieve and the Moon is doable along with huge space based telescopes and space stations that Starship could launch, mostly in one launch at a really low cost. that is the future this century, not Mars. If you must spend that kind of money, spend it on fixing this planet first. Stop wars, encourage disarmament, prevent run away climate change, feed the hungry, improve global healthcare, reinforce democracy and Make the World Great Again. and finally get rid of demagogues, tyrants and dictators, especially orange ones..

    I am happy to hear Elon get closer to what he wants to do for human kind❤

Mayfield Bets on AI’s Earliest Founders

Mayfield has invested more than $3 billion in AI companies, much of it before founders have built a product or even formed a company.

Mayfield has invested more than $3 billion in AI companies, much of it before founders have built a product or even formed a company. Managing Partner Navin Chaddha joins Bloomberg to discuss why he sees AI as a “100x opportunity,” why venture returns still depend on finding a handful of exceptional founders, and why Mayfield is resisting the industry’s push toward ever-larger funds to stay focused on early-stage investing. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”
