Elon Musk's Martian fever dream is growing by leaps and bounds. October marked arguably the best performance by Musk's still-under-development Starship, when Flight Test 5 of the SpaceX Starship featured a successful mid-air capture of the returning Super Heavy booster by mechanical "chopsticks" on the rocket's launch-and-landing tower. One month later, Flight Test 6 saw a tower capture abort -- a disappointment -- but picture-perfect water landings by both Super Heavy and the rocket's Starship second stage, as well as a successful reignition of at least one Starship engine while in orbit ( which was another technical objective of the flight test ). Impressed by SpaceX's rapid advancements, no sooner were the results in than the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration cleared SpaceX to quintuple its Starship launch rate, from five launches per year to 25. But even 25 launches a year isn't good enough for SpaceX Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell. She wants 100. 25 launches in '25 Now SpaceX will of course happily accept the 25 launches that FAA is giving it in 2025. And Kathy Lueders, general manager of SpaceX's Texan "Starbase" spaceport, expects to max out that limit in 2025. But at a recent investment conference, Shotwell expressed the desire to go far beyond that limit in future years, predicting that SpaceX will launch 400 Starships over the next four years. And that's not all. Digesting all the public statements made by multiple SpaceX execs over the last few weeks, Payload Space recently assembled a report laying out a few of SpaceX's more shocking predictions for the next 10 years of spaceflight, and they hold some clear implications for investors in the space industry . So long, Falcon 9. We hardly knew ye. Perhaps the most shocking implication of Starship's progress is that SpaceX's popular Falcon 9 rocket might soon get priced out of the market. Falcon 9 launched 91 times in 2023, and has already beaten that record in 2024. With a full month to go this year, the world's most used rocket has already conducted 116 space launches. Granted, most of these launches were performed for SpaceX itself, deploying batches upon batches of Starlink satellites to orbit. But SpaceX also launched 36 Falcon missions for paying customers, making it easily the world's most popular commercial rocket. Key to the rocket's popularity is its bargain basement price -- less than $70 million per launch at advertised prices, which is cheaper than anything Arianespace or United Launch Alliance can offer. But as cheap as Falcon 9 may be, Starship will be even cheaper. Payload recently estimated the Starship's construction cost at $90 million (i.e., 28.5% more expensive than Falcon 9, but for 400% more payload capacity). And Musk has predicted that over time Starship's cost will fall to as little as $10 million per flight . Once SpaceX hits that target, there will be simply no reason to keep flying a Falcon 9 that costs more, but carries less. Shotwell predicts that within six to eight years, SpaceX will retire the Falcon 9 and Starship will replace it completely, both for cargo and crewed missions. Beware a price war in spaceflight That might be a logical decision for SpaceX, but it holds some dramatic, and perhaps devastating implications for companies that compete with SpaceX. First and foremost: Falcon 9 is already the cheapest way to put a pound of payload in orbit. Nothing Arianespace or ULA has can currently compete with it. If Starship ends up being so cheap that Falcon 9 can't compete with it , it stands to reason no one else will be able to compete with Starship, which will undercut all prices and dominate the global space launch industry. And here's a second implication: As noted above, Shotwell anticipates Starship launching 400 times over the next four years -- 100 times per year on average. With each Starship launch putting five times the payload of a Falcon 9 in orbit, that means that Starship alone will roughly 5x SpaceX's lift capacity (on top of any payloads Falcon 9 launches over the next six to eight years). The question naturally arises: Will there be enough companies wanting to put enough satellites in orbit to utilize all the capacity SpaceX is bringing to market? Because if global demand for space launch isn't enough to equal all the supply SpaceX is offering, then Economics 101 demands that the price of space launch should fall. In a market where Starship's launch price is already pushing prices lower, it may be awfully difficult for any other space company to earn a profit at the prices they'll be forced to offer. What does this mean for SpaceX? All of the above sounds like lousy news for companies forced to compete with SpaceX. For SpaceX itself, however, the news is only good. Observing that SpaceX is currently selling shares to raise cash at a $255 billion valuation, Shotwell quipped that with all the irons SpaceX has in the fire now (Starlink and Starship among them), she thinks the company's value will "add another zero, probably," valuing SpaceX stock at $2.5 trillion. It may take a few years to get there, but I agree this seems the general direction in which SpaceX is headed.365 betfred 。

Votes will be counted in the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections Here's your 10-point cheat sheet to this big story Most exit polls have predicted a Mahayuti win in Maharashtra. Three exit polls have, however, forecast neither the Mahayuti nor the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) would secure a decisive majority to form government. This may lead to a situation where 'resort politics' may happen. In Mahayuti, the BJP contested the largest number of seats at 148, followed by the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at 80, and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar at 52. Mahayuti candidates are contesting in six more seats. In the Opposition MVA, the Congress contested 102 seats, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Bal Thackeray) 96 seats, and the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) 86 seats. Two seats were contested by Samajwadi Party and two seats by smaller MVA allies. This was the first election after splits in the NCP and the Shiv Sena. In the 2019 elections, BJP won 105 seats, the undivided Shiv Sena 56, undivided NCP 54, Congress 44, independents 13 and others 16 seats. The results today will have huge implications for all the parties, particularly NCP and Shiv Sena. Uddhav Thackeray lost his chief ministerial position due to a split in his party in 2022 and the party has been keen to prove a point in the assembly polls. His key rival Eknath Shinde also gained popularity due to welfare measures of the Mahayuti government. And now there is a seeming clash over who is the true inheritor of Balasaheb Thackeray's legacy. The NCP also suffered a split with Ajit Pawar joining the ruling alliance as Deputy Chief Minister in July last year. His uncle Sharad Pawar kept a tight campaign and has been keen to see that there is no dent to his long legacy in politics. A lot is at stake for the Congress in Maharashtra after the party is seen to have bungled its prospect in the Haryana assembly polls earlier this year. The BJP formed its third successive government in Haryana earlier this year. In Jharkhand, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is banking on its work and promises, the NDA is hopeful of getting people's support on its promises and the work of the central government. The campaign saw BJP leaders targeting the JMM-led alliance over its performance and raised the issue of "infiltration" and tribal rights in the state. Prominent candidates include Chief Minister Hemant Soren, wife Kalpana Soren, and sister-in-law Sita Soren from the JMM. Key BJP leaders include former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi, Assembly Speaker Ravindra Nath Mahto (JMM), AJSU Party chief Sudesh Mahto, and Leader of Opposition Amar Kumar Bauri. Votes in bypolls will also be counted today. In Kerala's Wayanad, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is contesting the Lok Sabha byelection on the same seat that his brother Rahul Gandhi used to represent before he won this time from Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli. Bypolls were held on seven assembly seats in Rajasthan. In Madhya Pradesh, a by-election was held in Budhni and Vijaypur. In Uttar Pradesh, votes will be counted in the by-polls in nine assembly seats.

Maryland fights off upset-minded George Mason to remain unbeaten

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Snell and the Los Angeles Dodgers have finalized a $182 million, five-year contract. The reigning World Series champions announced the deal with the two-time Cy Young Award winner on Saturday. Snell, who turns 32 on Wednesday, went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 starts for San Francisco this year, throwing a no-hitter at Cincinnati on Aug. 2 for one of only 16 individual shutouts in the major leagues this season. The left-hander struck out 145 and walked 44 in 104 innings. He was sidelined between April 19 and May 22 by a strained left adductor and between June 2 and July 9 by a strained left groin. Snell gets a $52 million signing bonus , payable on Jan. 20, and annual salaries of $26 million, of which $13 million each year will be deferred. Because Snell is a Washington state resident, the signing bonus will not be subject to California income tax. Snell joins Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto atop Los Angeles’ rotation. Ohtani didn’t pitch this year while recovering from right elbow surgery but the two-way star is expected back on the mound in 2025. Snell won Cy Young Awards in 2018 with Tampa Bay and 2023 with San Diego. He is 76-58 with a 3.19 ERA in nine seasons with the Rays (2016-20), Padres (2021-23) and Giants. Because he turned down a qualifying offer from San Diego last November, the Giants were not eligible to give Snell another one and won’t receive draft-pick compensation.
