NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft are getting ready to roll back to Launch Pad 39B for the @NASAArtemis II mission. Teams are currently monitoring the wind speeds before rolling out of @NASAKennedy Vehicle Assembly Building. Follow along: youtube.com/live/ED2nbfb3N…

NEWS: Tiny SpaceX rocks Boeing
Starship will now boost Orion and the Artemis crew to the Moon rather than Boeing's SLS.

NEWS: NASA is planning a bigger @SpaceX Moon mission role using Starship, in a massive blow to Boeing. With the new proposal, Boeing's SLS would no longer be used to boost Orion close to the moon. Instead, Starship and Orion would dock in Earth orbit, giving Starship the pivotal role of propelling the capsule to the moon’s orbit, before taking astronauts down to the surface. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

NEWS: Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin has filed an official request with the FCC to launch and operate a constellation of 51,600 AI satellites (orbital datacenters), just two weeks after Amazon filed a formal petition calling on the FCC to deny @SpaceX’s 1 million-satellite proposal for orbiting datacenters, going as far to claim the project would take “centuries” to deploy.
Blue Origin's project, called “Project Sunrise,” would include up to 51,600 satellites in low Earth orbit, designed to run AI and cloud computing workloads using constant solar power.
The system would primarily use laser (optical) links between satellites. Blue Origin says "space-based data centers could relieve pressure on Earth’s power grids and water usage."

Looks like it was just a quick leg stretch for @BlueOrigin's Landing Platform Jacklyn & Support Vessel Harvey Stone - both returned last night to Port Canaveral after ~10 hours at sea.

Recovery Ship Jacklyn & Support Vessel Harvey Stone were caught departing Port Canaveral this afternoon on @NASASpaceflight Space Coast Live. It feels very early to be preparing for New Glenn-3, so this is likely sea trials/testing. Can you share any insight @davill?

When Starship Booster 19 left Pad 2, a few of the engines looked very familiar. Looking back, the @NASASpaceflight McGregor Live team spotted engines 57, 58, and 67 leaving the SpaceX engine testing facility back in November 2025, 4 months before.

Mission complete. After three months in orbit and 49 tests completed validating critical systems, components, and processes, we have successfully performed a controlled deorbit of Haven Demo, our in-space testbed for Haven-1 technologies.

Terafab math
For “big” chips like Tesla’s AI5 (a half-reticle design, roughly 300–450 mm²), producing 100 million chips per year would require on the order of ~100k wafer starts per month, roughly the output of a single high-volume leading-edge fab.
At current industry efficiency, that translates to about 1–2 million sq ft of cleanroom space. Since cleanroom typically makes up 20–35% of total facility area, the initial Terafab phase would likely span ~4 to 10 million sq ft.
That puts the starting factory right in the same ballpark as Gigafactory Texas (~10 million sq ft).
Elon’s long-term target is a vastly higher combined volume of AI compute/memory chips for inference, far beyond the initial 100 million example.
However, the point of Terafab’s redesign is to break conventional fab assumptions, compressing more output into less space so that extreme production volumes become achievable.

Terafab may be the most essential vertical integration Tesla has ever undertaken— and it is truly non-optional. It will take years to build and will test even Elon’s speedrunning abilities to the limit, but that won’t stop him from trying. The breakthrough likely lies in overhauling the overall facility’s cleanroom model. By moving wafers in sealed pods with localized micro-environments, the fab no longer needs a monolithic ultra-clean space. Elon’s line about “eating cheeseburgers and smoking cigars” on the fab floor isn’t silly, it’s the practical reality of a radically simpler, cheaper, faster approach that could finally change the economics of chipmaking. This is all forced by the brutal “pinch” in chip supply. Tesla must produce on the order of 100–200 billion AI chips per year just to saturate its roadmap. That volume powers: FSD cars & Robotaxis (tens of millions of vehicles needing AI5 inference for near-perfect autonomy), Physical Optimus (scaling from thousands today to millions per year, each requiring AI5/AI6-level compute), Digital Optimus (the new xAI-Tesla software agents for digital/office automation, running massive inference clusters), Space-based data centers (AI7/Dojo3 orbital compute for GW-scale training and inference beyond Earth limits). AI5 delivers the ~10× leap for vehicles and early robots; AI6 shifts focus to Optimus + terrestrial DCs; AI7 goes orbital. No external foundry (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) can deliver that scale or timeline— hence the Terafab launch. Without it, the entire robotics + autonomy future hits a brick wall. Terafab isn’t optional; it’s the only way forward.

Hey Starship Addicts,
Part 2 is going to be delayed by about a week.
The episode is completely finished and ready to release… but YouTube ad revenue has taken a major hit recently as advertiser focus shifts heavily toward global conflict coverage.
Originally I planned to release this episode without a sponsor because they weren’t able to keep up with the pace we were moving. Unfortunately that’s no longer realistic given the level of time investment involved from multiple people behind the scenes.
Despite viewership performing almost exactly the same as the previous episode, ad revenue has dropped by nearly 60%.
A year ago I probably wouldn’t have said anything about this. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that YouTube’s ecosystem is rapidly shifting toward high-volume AI-generated content.
If that trend continues, genuinely human-made content will become harder and harder to sustain. Many of your favorite creators — especially those producing deeply researched, time-intensive work — may simply disappear because the economics stop making sense.
And I’m pretty sure I’m speaking for a majority of the Team Space community when I say that.
For now, we’re going to keep doing what we do for as long as we possibly can.
Because as long as there are people who still care about real research, real engineering, and real storytelling… this channel will keep pushing forward.
Thanks for sticking with us.

A new inflatable space station called Thunderbird is being developed by Max Space.
It will be launched into orbit using a single Falcon 9 rocket and will expand once in space to create a much larger living and working area.
Designed to support four astronauts, the station aims to provide a more spacious and comfortable environment for missions in low Earth orbit, with a planned launch around 2029.
