Starfall is SpaceX’s new uncrewed disk-shaped cargo return capsule (launched on its first demo flight today, June 23, 2026, aboard a Falcon 9). It is a flat, low-profile vehicle (~3.1 m diameter × 0.75 m tall) designed for rapid, high-volume return of up to ~1,000 kg of payload from orbit — especially for in-space manufacturing ...

Today SpaceX deployed and demonstrated the Starfall low cost capsule return system. This a demo of a new vehicle that will enable affordable, routine access to the microgravity environment for scientific research and in-space manufacturing. After demonstrating controlled flight, the spacecraft will splash down in the Pacific Ocean Today’s mission includes a demo of a ... Read more

Practical podcast interview with Matt Pocock (AI engineering educator and creator of popular agent skills). The core message is that the model is important, but the harness (your skills/prompts/procedures + environment + workflow) matters just as much or more. XAI bought Cursor because it is a top level harness and they have the data and ... Read more

Cursor is training its own Opus-class model from scratch. They are no longer fine-tuned on open-source model like Kimi K2. This is a major step up in capability and independence. They are using the 10-20X compute provided by xAI and Colossus 2. In a few weeks the 1.5 trillion parameter coding model and harness. Then ... Read more

People are not super-excited about the SpaceX Starfall test tomorrow. This is a hockey puck shaped space vehicle that will be released from a Falcon 9 flight that goes to orbit or near orbit. It is a heat shield capsule that will hold about 1000 kg of payload and has some cold thrusters and parachutes ... Read more

Post-spacetime physics refers to the idea that our familiar 4D spacetime is not fundamental but emerges from deeper structures—whether geometric (fiber bundles, higher-dimensional manifolds), quantum (entanglement, information), or vacuum effects. Eric Weinstein’s Geometric Unity (GU) proposes a 14-dimensional geometric framework (involving a metric bundle over 4D spacetime) from which the Standard Model forces, gravity, and ... Read more

SpaceX is adding another $900 million of revenue in 2026 and $1.8 billion of revenue per year with another AI rental. This is with Reflection. It adds from July 2026 to 2029. This means $900 million more in 2026 and a runrate of $2.35 billion per month in Q4. $28 billion per year in 2027 ... Read more

Drone walls and layered short/medium/long-range droning have effectively recreated a modern version of trench attrition warfare, where large-scale land capture is extremely difficult and costly for near-peer adversaries. Only small, incremental gains have been seen in Ukraine. Countries that cannot match drone quantity and integration at scale risks failure or stalemate. Drone Walls and Layered ... Read more

In an interview of Elon Musk, Elon talks about getting greater than 10X the world economy in 10 years. What does this mean, if it were to happen. It means averaging 27% per year GDP growth but starting with a ramp in the first half. NOTE: in WW2, the USA had 18% gdp growth for ... Read more
