After the first successful Starhopper untethered hop of 20 m, a Starhopper 2nd hop could go as high as 200 m. Furthermore, it seems that we can finally see some real NASA and SpaceX collaboration happening with regard to the development of Starship / Super Heavy.

Welcome to Episode 12 of What about it!? In this episode, we'll take a look at SpaceX's schedule for Starship and Starhopper, Falcon 9's revised price tag, NASA's Orion in flight abort test and SETI Breakthrough listen's first results!

We are quite amazed by Elon Musk's ambitious claim about Starship's moon landing timeline from his recent interview with TIME, as well as the first successful untethered Starhopper lift-off. Besides, the Asian space agencies aren't sleeping either, as we have some truly exciting stuff to report about China's Tiangong-2 space station and India's Chandrayaan-2 moon mission.

SpaceX is sending signals back to the Trump administration and NASA in kind. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, said in an interview last week that he believes his company’s spacecraft, could return humans to the moon’s surface sooner than everyone might expect. Despite the acknowledgement of how crazy this initiative would be, he was clear that within two years the mission could be done successfully.

In the last few hours we had the launch of Chandrayaan 2 to the moon, it'll take a couple of months to get there but India hopes to be the next country to land on the moon (slowly). SpaceX Starship continues to progress with a test firing, followed by unplanned thermal test, and a test flight possibly in the next few days.

Welcome to Episode 14 of What about it!? In this episode, we'll take a look at SpaceX's Raptor SN06 that's recently arrived in BocaChica to power Starhopper and Starship, we'll look at a fire at SpaceX's construction site in Cocoa Florida and we'll get the big picture of who else is developing reusable Rockets by now! Russia and Roscosmos with Soyuz 5 light, China and Link Space with Newline 1 and last but not least, ESA and ArianeSpace with Callisto and Themis!

In this episode of SpaceX in the News, we check out the newest Starhopper and Starship progress; get updated on Starlink and Crew Dragon; watch GO Ms. Tree's fairing catch and learn about some upcoming missions.

This video shows how BFR will need a spaceport to take people to the Moon and later Mars. Later episodes will illustrate how space construction tools like frame building machines will also be necessary for this task. This show is a special episode in a multi-part series.

The Von Braun rotating space station will be the first commercial space construction project in history. It will be serviced by the SpaceX Starship and be designed to accommodate national space agency laboratories, billionaires who want to own property in space, and space tourists.

In this episode of SpaceX in the News, we investigate the development of Starhopper and Starship down in Boca Chica, TX; look into Elon Musk's meeting with the military, discuss some upcoming launches; and share all the exciting new updates to our YouTube channel.

SPACEX’S STARSHIP MARS VEHICLE COULD 'FLY' FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK SPACEX IS FINALLY READY TO TEST ITS 'STARSHIP' INTRO SpaceX is on FIRE!!!

Welcome to Episode 14 of What about it!? In this episode, we'll take a look at SpaceX's Raptor SN06 that's recently arrived in BocaChica to power Starhopper and Starship, we'll look at a fire at SpaceX's construction site in Cocoa Florida and we'll get the big picture of who else is developing reusable Rockets by now!

We explain the most exciting updates on SpaceX Starhopper news, SpaceX's collaboration with other companies to colonize Mars, NASA moon plans, and many other important developments in the field of space exploration.

What an amazing few days it has been. SpaceX Starhopper Lift Off with a 20 Meter Flight Test Successful! We also saw an interesting attempt at the same mission yesterday which has some nice footage included in this video. On top of all this we also had the incredible CRS-18 mission to the Space station which has launched beautifully with the booster of course making its way back to the landing site to touch down. There are of course a large number of fans out there super eager to cheer SpaceX on and celebrate all they’ve achieved over the last year or so but there is a heck of a lot of people trying to discredit projects such as Starhopper and the Starship prototypes. None of these people of course seem to comprehend how amazing all this is. The fact that SpaceX release all this test footage is just something that people are very unused to seeing. The general public just don’t seem to appreciate that failure and rapid prototypes are a great thing. Lets explore this topic in more detail shall we.

Thursday was a busy day for SpaceX, with a scheduled launch to the ISS for CRS-18, but many space nerds were watching the unofficial coverage of SpaceX's Starship Hopper. Late last night the Raptor engine ignited and lifted the vehicle over 20m in the air, translated sideways and then landed back on the same pad.

Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will be the first passenger in a SpaceX trip around the moon.

A fire has broken out at the SpaceX Starship Cocoa Florida site just an hour ago.

Welcome to Episode 12 of What about it!? In this episode, we'll take a look at SpaceX's schedule for Starship and Starhopper, Falcon 9's revised price tag, NASA's Orion in flight abort test and SETI Breakthrough listen's first results!

We explain why Saturn's largest moon Titan is an extremely interesting target for NASA's newly announced Dragonfly mission, why the Falcon Heavy missed landing drone ship during the latest SpaceX launch, as well as the fast progress of SpaceX prototypes in Cocoa, Florida, and Boca Chica Texas.

In this episode of SpaceX in the News, we take a look at Starhopper's current progress as it awaits its next hops; inspect the construction of both Starships in Boca Chica and Cocoa; debrief SPACEX's latest launch of RADARSAT; see what's up with space tourism; and inspire the next generation of engineers and explorers.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has recently published new renders of what a possible Moon or Mars colony would look like once the private space company sets up its base outside of Earth, with company's updated stainless steel Starship, offering glimpses of the spacecraft on both the Moon and Mars
