SpaceX wins FCC approval for 36 Starlink gateway applications, clearing a key hurdle for its ground network. The FCC: • Called SpaceX’s interference analysis “technically sound.” • Found the calculated impact on Iridium’s signal quality was negligible, no more than 0.4%. • Concluded the proposed stations would not cause unacceptable interference to other authorized satellite networks sharing the frequencies. • Rejected Iridium’s request to require completed coordination before operations. A clear regulatory win for SpaceX and another step forward for Starlink’s expansion.

SpaceXSI completes MiniHard construction in just ~5 months, with Gun Range targeting a ~4-month build. According to SemiAnalysis, SpaceXSI is roughly halving construction timelines while most comparable projects face 8–12 month builds. • MiniHard: Construction finished in approximately 5 months. • Gun Range: The new site just south of the Tennessee–Mississippi state line is targeting approximately 4 months of construction. • Colossus 1: Its first retrofit delivered 150 MW of capacity in 122 days. • Colossus 2: A subsequent retrofit delivered 210 MW in just 91 days. • Project SPAM: Work started October 5, with the first capacity targeted for December. • Massive expansion: SemiAnalysis projects the Memphis–Mississippi campus will grow from 0.4 GW of IT capacity in January to 2.4 GW by the end of 2026. That would be a sixfold increase in one year. • Five major projects: The expansion spans Macrohard, MiniHard, Macroharder, Project SPAM and Gun Range. • Tesla powering the scale: SemiAnalysis reports 1,377 Tesla Megapacks across Colossus 2, providing nearly 6 GWh of battery storage. The construction timelines and capacity forecasts are SemiAnalysis estimates, with future milestones still targets. Elon Musk’s teams are bringing extraordinary speed and scale to the infrastructure powering AI.

SpaceX had just polled GO for orbit on Starship Flight 15. All systems were looking good. One Raptor relight in the following few minutes pushed Ship 42 from its suborbital path into orbit around Earth.

Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful and beauty is the only thing that can save the world which all in Optimus

SpaceX has recovered orbital-class boosters more than 670 times. Every other company and country on Earth combined is still under five. That gap shows just how far ahead SpaceX is on rocket reuse. SpaceX’s record: •670+ successful orbital booster landings •One Falcon 9 booster (B1067) has flown and landed 37 times Everyone else combined: fewer than five successful orbital booster recoveries (Blue Origin’s New Glenn has landed twice and been reflown once; China has recovered two boosters in 2026, neither yet reflown). SpaceX first stuck the landing in December 2015. More than a decade later, the rest of the industry is only now reaching the point SpaceX left behind years ago. What was once considered nearly impossible is now so routine for SpaceX that a booster landing barely registers as news.
