- SpaceX REVEALS: Why did Starship Flight 7 destroy itself?:
Starship takes flight for a seventh time, with a catch and a spectacular explosion! Why did it destroy itself? We do a full rundown of what happened! Musk reveals a drastic change to the Future of Starship’s block three design, and you won't believe how big it is!
- NASA's New Nuclear Rocket Engine to Mars in a Day! Even Faster than SpaceX Starship:
Six months—that's how long Elon Musk estimates a journey to Mars will take aboard Starship, powered by its 39 Raptor engines.
But six months is a long time for anyone, including you and me. And NASA? Well, they’re not too thrilled about it either.
That’s why NASA has unveiled a revolutionary new engine, powered by an advanced energy source. They claim it will be more powerful, safer, and capable of getting humans to Mars faster than Starship’s Raptor engines.
So, what is this engine? How does it outperform SpaceX’s Raptors? And why is NASA so confident in its breakthrough technology?
Chemical rockets have long been the foundation of space exploration, relying on the combustion of propellants and oxidizers to generate thrust. These rockets come in two primary forms: solid-fuel and liquid-fuel. Solid-fuel rockets contain a pre-mixed combination of propellant and oxidizer in a solid state, while liquid-fuel rockets store these components separately, combining them in the combustion chamber to produce high-temperature, high-pressure gases. These gases are then expelled through the engine nozzle, generating the thrust necessary to propel a spacecraft.
One of the most ambitious rockets in development today is SpaceX’s Starship, a next-generation launch vehicle designed for deep-space missions. Central to Elon Musk’s vision of colonizing Mars, Starship has been engineered to maximize thrust and efficiency. At the heart of this innovation is its full-flow staged combustion cycle (FFSC) engine—the Raptor. Unlike traditional rocket engines, which burn RP-1 kerosene or hydrogen, the Raptor is fueled by methane and liquid oxygen (LOX).
A reminder for anyone interested: Starship Flight 8 (anther suborbital test, hopefully not such a spectacular firework display as the last!) is scheduled for today, at 6:30 pm EST (2330 GMT). Livestreams everywhere, and easy to find.

- SpaceX Starship Flight 8 Problem FIXED But...Can this Launch Today?:
SpaceX Starship Flight 8 Problem FIXED But...Can this Launch Today? Could today be the day? Starship Flight 8 has been de-stacked for fixes, with a new launch schedule now set. Will SpaceX resolve the issues in time? Meanwhile, Blue Ghost has released stunning footage of its landing attempt, and top aerospace executives are shaping the next phase of space exploration. Let’s dive into it all on today’s episode of Great SpaceX! SpaceX Starship Flight 8 Problem FIXED But...Can this Launch Today? Many of us are still feeling the sting of Starship's scrubbed launch attempt on March 3. But setbacks like this are part of the journey, and SpaceX is wasting no time in making things right. Elon Musk later revealed that the issue was related to pressure instability, likely caused during fuel transfer from the tanks to the engines. Without the necessary pressure, the engines couldn’t generate enough thrust for liftoff. Naturally, this meant a full inspection was required—leading to a de-stack of the vehicle. SpaceX Starship Flight 8 Problem FIXED But...Can this Launch Today? Just hours after the missed opportunity on March 3, SpaceX got to work. By the morning of March 4, the Ship transport stand arrived at the launch site, signaling preparations for de-stacking. At 8:30 a.m. CST, the SQD arm retracted from the vehicle, and teams sealed open ports on Ship 34 in preparation. An hour later, S34 was officially de-stacked from Booster 15. Now, the real work begins. Engineers will examine the venting system, fine-tuning it to maintain stable pressure throughout fueling. Sensors will be inspected or added to monitor pressure levels more effectively. The fuel lines and tanks will also undergo checks to prevent leaks and ensure they maintain optimal pressure. Meanwhile, the turbo pump system may require adjustments to improve fuel flow and meet precise pressure demands.
