The Bahamas government has suspended all SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket landings, awaiting a thorough environmental assessment following a recent SpaceX Starship explosion. Debris from the explosion scattered over Bahamian airspace, raising concerns about environmental impact and debris management. The government had previously approved 19 SpaceX landings for 2025, but now requires a full review before reinstating clearances.

SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, has risen from near bankruptcy to dominate the space industry. After early rocket failures, Musk's investment kept the company afloat. SpaceX achieved a historic milestone by launching the first private company to send humans to space. Innovations like reusable rockets and the Dragon spacecraft have revolutionised spaceflight.

SpaceX is incentivizing security researchers to identify vulnerabilities within its Starlink satellite internet system through a bug bounty program, offering up to $100,000 for significant findings. The company has already awarded an average of $913.

Jared Isaacman, nominated to lead Nasa, faced Senate scrutiny regarding his close ties to SpaceX and Elon Musk. Senator Markey questioned Isaacman about potential influence from Musk and Trump during his nomination. Isaacman's deep involvement with SpaceX includes funding missions, conducting spacewalks, and investing millions, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

Elon Musk refuted claims that SpaceX is contributing technology to the proposed Golden Dome missile system for the US. He clarified that while SpaceX hasn't bid for any contracts, they would assist if requested by President Trump. The proposed system involves hundreds of satellites for real-time missile detection and tracking, potentially including interceptor satellites.

SpaceX achieved a remarkable feat on April 21, launching two Falcon 9 rockets within hours. The evening launch of the Bandwagon-3 mission deployed multiple payloads, including a European reentry capsule and satellites for weather resilience and military surveillance. The booster successfully returned to Cape Canaveral, marking another milestone in SpaceX's rideshare program and increasing launch cadence.

Maye Musk, Elon Musk's mother, has shown her appreciation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi by retweeting his post about their discussion on technology and innovation collaboration. She previously expressed excitement over their meeting in Washington D.C., sharing posts with affectionate emojis. Elon Musk also acknowledged the conversation, expressing his anticipation to visit India later this year.

Elon Musk's attempt to showcase his Path of Exile 2 skills on a livestream descended into chaos as trolls bombarded him with insults targeting his businesses, personal life, and political affiliations. Despite the relentless abuse and repeated in-game deaths, Musk initially remained stoic, fueling debate about whether he was rattled or simply unlucky before abruptly ending the stream.

Elon Musk confidently declared Tesla's unmatched position in humanoid robotics, singling out Optimus as a leader. While acknowledging China's rapid advancements in the field, he anticipates Chinese companies dominating the subsequent ranks. Musk's statement reinforces his previous predictions about Tesla's dominance in both the robotics and electric vehicle markets, despite growing competition.

Elon Musk expressed his disappointment that humans haven't reached Mars yet, despite SpaceX's efforts. He referenced the rapid progress from the first flight to the moon landing, highlighting the current delay in space exploration.

SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket carrying multiple satellites. The Bandwagon-3 mission included a German re-entry capsule, a South Korean military satellite, and a US weather satellite. Phoenix 1 tested its heat shield. The mission highlights affordable access to space. It also shows international collaboration. This launch signals a future where space is more accessible.

Elon Musk corrected a social media post identifying his son in a photo, clarifying it was Kai, not Griffin. The image sparked discussion about Kai's resemblance to Musk and his interest in SpaceX, as highlighted in Walter Isaacson's biography.

Elon Musk has proposed 'Terminus' as the name for the first Martian city, inspired by Asimov's Foundation series, while acknowledging the final decision rests with future Martian residents. SpaceX aims for Starship to reach Mars by the end of next year, potentially paving the way for human missions as early as 2029, though 2031 is considered more realistic.

While most headlines are all about the celebrities floating in space, there’s something else going on that’s just as important. Blue Origin– Jeff Bezos’ space company– isn’t just grabbing attention with big names. It’s also making real progress with its technology. Now, more and more people are starting to wonder: Is Blue Origin finally catching up to Elon Musk’s SpaceX?

For a man who once vowed to terraform Mars, Elon Musk couldn’t even last a fiscal quarter in Washington. The self-styled disruptor who swaggered into the swamp with a chainsaw and a Reddit acronym has quietly begun his retreat, bruised by bureaucracy, battered by backlash, and burned by the very efficiency he promised to deliver. In a city allergic to logic and obsessed with meetings, Musk discovered what every tech messiah eventually does: the federal government doesn’t run on code—it runs on chaos.

Elon Musk playfully responded to Tesla protest posters urging him to 'SEND MUSK TO MARS,' affirming his ongoing efforts with SpaceX. He further shared an image of his son wearing an 'Occupy Mars' shirt, reinforcing his vision.

SpaceX successfully launched 27 Starlink V2 Mini satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking a milestone in global internet connectivity. The Falcon 9 rocket deployed the satellites an hour after the 4:06 p.m. PDT liftoff. The first-stage booster landed on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You," achieving SpaceX's 124th booster recovery.

In a groundbreaking mission, SpaceX Fram2 crew recreated Röntgen's X-ray experiment in space, imaging a hand and other body parts. This mission, supported by Chun Wang, conducted 22 research experiments, including DXA scans for bone density. Upon returning to Earth, the crew began post-flight studies to understand microgravity's effects, marking a significant advancement in space exploration and medical technology.

Elon Musk announced SpaceX plans to launch a Starship carrying Optimus robots to Mars by the end of 2026, aiming to investigate square structures discovered on the planet. While human missions could potentially begin as early as 2029, 2031 is considered more realistic. These ambitious plans face challenges, highlighted by the recent Starship test flight failure in March 2025.
