SpaceX just caught Starship returning from orbit.
First time in history.
Elon Musk 2021: “We took the legs off the booster and just have the tower catch it... People thought I’d lost my mind… maybe I have. But we’ll get it right.”
2022: A tower built to catch the largest flying object ever made and “pluck it out of the air.”
2024: “The odds of catching the booster with the tower are probably 80 to 90 percent this year… which is insane.”
Six months later, SpaceX caught it.
Today, Starship came home from orbit and the tower caught that too.
Elon Musk in 2022: “The key to making life multiplanetary is a fully reusable rocket.”

SpaceX is redesigning the Vera Rubin NVL72 rack into a flatter layout so it can be stacked inside Starship’s PEZ dispenser and deployed through the payload door, much like a Starlink V3 satellite.👇
Starship’s PEZ door is only about 0.8 meters tall
SpaceX is developing Kessel, a custom Vera Rubin NVL72 rack that replaces internal NVLink cable cartridges with a passive PCB midplane. It keeps Oberon’s 72 GPU packages, 18 compute trays and 9 switch trays, but rearranges them back-to-back around the board. Think mini Kyber, with a smaller scale-up domain and a design intended for both terrestrial and orbital deployment. The question is whether this smaller version can make the midplane practical.

Just got 2026.38.5.11
Seems to be a bug update as Tesla FSD remains the same at V14.3.13

Tesla VP for Vehicle Engineering @larsmoravy walked @HenryCatchpole through how the Roadster beats the tire limit. Rubber tops out around 1.0 mu of grip.
Four 20 kW fans, built on the heat pump's compressor motor, suck the car onto the road with skirts, so it holds over 2 g in corners even below 50 mph.
The wing actuators are borrowed Optimus leg actuators. A 200-liter tank at 10,000 psi feeds cold-gas thrusters with more than 80 kN of thrust, about what a single fighter jet engine puts out. 0–60 takes 0.55 seconds as a rollout figure.
Full interview from @Hagerty.

For those who are wondering:
This shows a mastery of physics, technology and engineering that nobody else has , and nobody else will have for a long time!
I want to drive a car designed and built by guys who can do that, and this means : Tesla for ever and only Tesla!
Bravo to the teams!
Now, just get together!

SpaceX has used thrusters to position spacecraft for decades.
Making them work in a vehicle instead of a vacuum took all-new hardware & controls.
Every usable void in the car is packed with Carbon Fiber Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs)
More compressed gas on board = more flight time

Roadster is a true pilot's car: active aerodynamics, a multi-mode suction system & cold-gas thrusters
Exterior
– Concealed headlights, full-length taillight & flush-mounted surfaces for a minimalist, highly technical form
– Super light wheels w/ thin spokes that reinforce structural strength when earthbound
– Ano White paint brings an aerospace-derived finish w/ UV & cryogenic protection, electrostatic dissipation & corrosion resistance
– Gold Glazed tinted glass mimicking the copper coating of spacesuit visors, w/ subtle titanium accents
