SpaceX plans to attempt a Starship booster catch on its next flight and aims for a weekly launch cadence by early 2027, along with a long-delayed in-orbit refueling test critical to NASA's Artemis lunar program.

SpaceX 于2026年Q3实现146亿美元收入，同比增长161%，并成功完成首次创收的星舰任务，向星链星座发射了26颗Starlink V3卫星。

Elon Musk claims that SpaceX reaching $1 trillion in revenue by 2028 is no longer impossible, hinting at aggressive growth expectations for the company.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced the company will attempt to catch both Starship and its Super Heavy booster mid-air next month, which would mark the first full recovery of an orbital launch vehicle in history.

SpaceX's Q3 results show its AI business now accounts for 52% of income, with its renamed 'Super Intelligence' segment generating $7.5B from Grok, Cursor, and its neocloud operations. Elon Musk emphasized power and cooling infrastructure—not chips—as the key constraint on superintelligence deployment, while the company posted $4.4B in net income on $14.6B revenue.

Elon Musk claims SpaceX's competitors, even with their future plans, remain behind Starship, reinforcing SpaceX's dominant position in the launch market.
