Welcome back to another week where you can always guarantee one thing. SpaceX never slows down at Starbase! With a launch site evolving at breakneck speeds, and changes happening to vehicles so quickly it is almost beyond belief. You do not want to miss this one! You will be amazed with the SpaceX Starship Critical Upgrade with the heat shield already being installed well ahead of what any of us thought possible. The new Pyron shielding is a massive change. Is this new material really that good? Well, we believe it is used on Falcon 9, so lets hope so. Also, a New Crazy Test Unveiled for the tower arms and a booster test prototype to see if it can hold for a catch. This is super exciting. Outside all that, it has actually been a bit of a bizarre week. Unexpected delays, problems to solve, and a huge milestone for Rocket Lab. We have Starlink Group 9-1, Falcon 9 with Astra 1P, Delayed Starliner Return and Rocket Lab's Electron in No Time Toulouse.
