Elon Musk's SPCX (SpaceX) stock down from the $225 high to a $125 low today. The investors are not happy with losing $100 a share. Could be more that that if the rocket explodes next week!

Looks like both booster and starship came back to earth with a hard landing. I believe they are going to attempt to catch both booster and ship portions for Starship 14 sometimes this fall. And... Noting... They are a long way from Mars! Wishing them well.

Just heard they're going to attempt to catch both next flight.

Now that they've actually been able to examine them NASA engineers are calling Starship's current heat shielding tiles a 'dead end' for rapid reusability. Bummer.

"Elon Musk Declares Starship Heat Shield Problem Solved

Last updated 8 minutes ago
During SpaceX's first public quarterly earnings call, Musk told investors that data and inspections from recent Starship test flights, including Flights 10 through 13, show the hexagonal ceramic tile heat shield holding up with minimal damage even under tough reentry conditions. The team plans to recover and check the vehicle from the latest ocean splashdown, paving the way for a tower catch attempt on the next flight later this month if regulators approve. While Musk stressed ongoing improvements ahead, this milestone removes what he called the biggest hurdle to full, rapid reusability for high-cadence launches and deep-space missions.

This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs."
