SpaceX has postponed the first attempt to catch the Starship upper stage with the Mechazilla tower: instead of the upcoming 14th launch, the maneuver has been pushed back by several months. Ahead lies the spacecraft's first orbital flight.

Elon Musk announced that the Starlink constellation has reached 11,000 satellites in orbit — no other provider comes close to this figure. Starlink accounts for more than half of all payloads in low Earth orbit, while Amazon Leo has failed to meet its deployment deadline.

SpaceX conducted static fire tests of the Starship vehicle Ship 41's engines at the Starbase facility in South Texas. This is preparation for the 14th flight — the first attempt to put a fully reusable system into Earth orbit.

At a closed meeting with journalists, Zelensky recounted that Trump accused him of misleading him due to a discrepancy over SpaceX's readiness to provide Starlink for strikes on Russia. Kyiv confirmed that the initial Ministry of Defense report did not match Musk's position.

SpaceX has completed the rescue operation for the Starship Ship 40 prototype, which drifted in the Indian Ocean for 24 days after its 13th test flight. Engineers inspected the 50-meter ship and are preparing data for a repeat flight at the end of 2026 or in early 2027.

According to insiders, Trump rejected Zelensky's personal request to negotiate with Musk regarding the expansion of Starlink for strikes on Russian territory. Kyiv was counting on satellite communication for deep-strike drones.

NASA published detailed images of the crater left on the Moon by the Falcon 9 upper stage that struck its surface. The impact occurred on August 5, 2026, at a speed of about 8,700 km/h.

On August 19, SpaceX carried out its 100th launch since the beginning of 2026: a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Base deployed 24 Starlink satellites into orbit. Of the 100 launches, 97 were performed by Falcon 9, and 74 missions were related to expanding the Starlink constellation.

AI giants OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI are preparing for IPOs while ignoring environmental reporting. In 2026, California law SB253 will force them to disclose emission data comparable to that of entire countries.

Iridium has filed a complaint with the US FCC demanding a block on the Starlink network expansion due to the risk of radio frequency interference with their mobile communications. SpaceX plans for gigabit speeds, but the competitor insists on compliance with standards.

SpaceX successfully recovered the Starship Ship 40 prototype from the Indian Ocean after the 13th test flight. This is the first rescue operation of its kind in history, opening new prospects for reusable space technologies.

SpaceX has waived Starlink fees in Indonesia until September 16 following a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. The company will also replace terminals damaged during the natural disaster for free.

🚀 SpaceX sets new record: two Falcon 9 launches in 38.5 minutes from opposite ends of the US! First — from Cape Canaveral (Globalstar satellites), second — from Vandenberg (classified USSF-366 payload). Both boosters successfully returned. This is the 650th first-stage landing in history! 🔥 #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Space #Record

🚀 The US Space Force has launched a $60 million program to integrate satellites from Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Rocket Lab, and York Space Systems into a unified military network. SpaceX created the network foundation (SDN) with a $2.29 billion contract, but the military wants to avoid a monopoly. Companies will receive funding to develop "space exchange points" and test compatibility. The goal is to create a resilient network capable of rerouting traffic during attacks. 🛰️🇺🇸

🚀 SpaceX sets a new record: two Falcon 9 rockets launch with an interval of just 38 minutes! One launch took place in Florida for Globalstar, the second was a classified mission USSF-366 in California. This is the company's 96th launch in 2026. 🌍🛰️ #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Space

🚀 Tesla Roadster: The End of the Waiting Era! By the end of August 2026, Tesla will finally present its legendary supercar. Insiders confirm: the car will get SpaceX engines and will be able to fly! 🌌 🔹 Design: Abandoning old concepts in favor of new aesthetics. 🔹 Technology: Integration of cold gas engines. 🔹 Status: Presentation scheduled for August, but there are nuances. After almost 10 years of development, the world is ready to see how Elon Musk turns a car into a rocket. 🏎️💨 #Tesla #Roadster #SpaceX #ElonMusk #EV2026

📉 **Are the giants' profits an illusion?** In August 2026, it was revealed that 70% of Alphabet's profit and 65% of Amazon's profit are not from sales but from speculation on SpaceX and Anthropic stocks. 🔹 **Vicious Cycle:** Giants finance AI startups, which spend that money on the clouds of the same giants. 🔹 **Crash Risk:** 42% of the 'Magnificent Seven's' profit is unrealized investment income. If the valuation of SpaceX or Anthropic drops, corporate reports will collapse. 🔹 **Facts:** SpaceX shares have already dropped by 17% after the IPO, casting doubt on Alphabet's current balances. The AI market is held up by mutual investments, not real sales.

🚀 Anthropic is preparing for an IPO with a $2 trillion valuation — this could become the largest offering in history, surpassing SpaceX. But can the company justify such expectations? 💰 Revenue is growing, but profit is still far from the required figures. Investors believe in the future, but critics warn of a bubble.
