Mark Kretschmann(@mark_k):SpaceX aims to fly Starship again this month and catch the Ship with the tower chopsticks for the first time. Elon Musk said during the first @SpaceX post-IPO earnings call that Flight 13’s heat shield held up cleanly and the problem is solved. Flight 14 should also deploy the first operational Starlink V3 satellites. Q2 revenue hit $7.8B (nearly double YoY), mostly from Starlink. SpaceX is also moving into orbital AI data centers with the Starmind constellation planned for 2027. Full reusability and daily flight cadence are the goals. Next few months will show the pace.
