    SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk Meets His Father Errol Musk After Seven Years As Family Cried

    San Francisco, November 25: SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk met his father Errol Musk after seven years during the launch of the Starship rocket, according to reports. Errol and family watched the Starship launch with local and international guests from a VIP platform last Saturday, and he was visited by Elon when he was in Austin, Texas, to spend some time with his daughters.

    “They spoke for a long time. It was very touching for me and our daughters to see this. We were speechless,” Errol’s ex-wife Heide Musk was quoted as saying. ”The family cried. It was pretty emotional stuff. Errol was very happy to see Elon, and Elon appeared very happy to see his father. They immediately sat down at Elon’s table next to one another and started talking as though no time had passed,” Heide added.

    Elon and his father last met in Cape Town, South Africa in 2016 during Errol’s 70th birthday celebrations. Errol, 77, created a sensation last year when he admitted that he is not a ‘Lothario’ (serial womanizer) but in his head, he has “slept with many women”. After revealing that he had a second child with his own stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout, Errol said that he is not a serial womaniser despite claims of countless lovers and fathering two children with his own stepdaughter, reported The Mirror.

    Errol, who now lives in South Africa, announced last year that he fathered a second child with the 36-year-old daughter of his former wife Heide. When asked whether he was proud of his son Elon, he said: “One doesn’t walk around saying ‘I’m proud’. “It’s one of the seven deadly sins. Instead I would say I’m very thankful for Elon’s achievements and that he is okay and managing.”

  • SpaceX Delays Second Orbital Flight Test of Starship To November 18, Elon Musk Confirms

    SpaceX Delays Second Orbital Flight Test of Starship To November 18, Elon Musk Confirms

    San Francisco, November 18: SpaceX on Friday delayed the second orbital flight test of Starship and Super Heavy Booster to Saturday, CEO Elon Musk confirmed on X. Musk said the delay was due to the need for a hardware swap on the powerful rocket. “We need to replace a grid fin actuator, so launch is postponed to Saturday,” Musk wrote on X.

    Grid fins are crucial aerodynamic components that help control and stabilise the rocket during its descent phase, ensuring it can land upright. Earlier, SpaceX had confirmed Friday for the test, with a two-hour launch window starting at 8 a.m., following launch approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). IBM Stops Advertising on X As Elon Musk Continues To Endorse ‘Far-Right Viewpoints’ and Agrees With Posts Promoting Antisemitism.

    Elon Musk Confirms Delay in Second Orbital Flight Test of Starship:

    The FAA said it “has given license authorisation for the second launch of the SpaceX Starship Super Heavy vehicle”. “The FAA determined SpaceX met all safety, environmental, policy and financial responsibility requirements,” the agency wrote in a statement on X.

    The second flight test will debut a hot-stage separation system and a new electronic Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system for Super Heavy Raptor engines, in addition to reinforcements to the pad foundation and a water-cooled steel flame deflector, among many other enhancements, the company added. On April 20, the first flight test of SpaceX’s fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket, built to take humanity to the Moon, Mars and beyond, exploded shortly after lift off, raining dust and debris on residents in Port Isabel, Texas. Elon Musk and Tim Cook Greet Chinese President Xi Jinping During Gala Dinner Hosted By US-China Business Council and the National Committee on US-China Relations.

    The rocket launch also spread plumes of potentially hazardous debris endangering human lives as well as habitats of animals, raising concerns by environmental groups, following which the FAA grounded the launch. The FAA also identified 63 actions that SpaceX needed to implement on the Starship and at the launch site before making further attempts. SpaceX said that the “lessons learned” from the first Starship launch are contributing to “several upgrades” to the vehicle and ground infrastructure. “This rapid iterative development approach has been the basis for all of SpaceX’s major innovative advancements, including Falcon, Dragon, and Starlink.”

    “I hope each and every one will recognise the responsibility that comes with leaving the Earth, traveling to the moon and back,” Maezawa said in a video making the announcement. In 2018, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk revealed that Maezawa, Founder of Japan’s largest online clothing retailer Zozotown will be the first private customer to ride around the Moon on the company’s future rocket, the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR).

    According to The Verge, Maezawa plans to fly on the trip as early as 2023, with artists onboard, as part of his “dearMoon” mission. This will be Maezawa’s second private trip to space.

  • Watch: SpaceX Launches 40 OneWeb Internet Satellites to Orbit for Competitor

    Watch: SpaceX Launches 40 OneWeb Internet Satellites to Orbit for Competitor

    Cape Canaveral, December 9: SpaceX launched internet satellites for a competitor Thursday, stepping in to help after the London-based OneWeb company halted its flights with Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.

    The Falcon rocket blasted off at sunset with 40 mini satellites bound for polar orbit. They will expand OneWeb’s constellation to just over 500, nearly 80% of the planned total of about 630 satellites.

    Elon Musk’s SpaceX has more than 3,200 Starlink satellites in orbit, providing high-speed, broadband internet to remote corners of the world. Amazon plans to launch the first of its internet satellites early next year from Cape Canaveral.

    With the market for global internet service “growing exponentially,” there’s room for everyone, said Massimiliano Ladovaz, OneWeb’s chief technology officer.

    SpaceX agreed to launch satellites for OneWeb after the British company broke ties with Russia in March. Russian Soyuz rockets already had launched 13 batches of OneWeb satellites, beginning in 2019.

    Launch Video of Satellites:

    India picked up the slack in October, sending up a batch of OneWeb satellites. Although there were other launch options, SpaceX and India offered the fastest and best combination, Ladovaz said shortly before liftoff.

    Two more SpaceX launches and one more by India are planned for OneWeb in the next several months to complete the company’s orbiting constellation by spring. OneWeb already is providing internet service in Alaska, Canada and northern Europe; the newest satellites will increase the range to the entire US and Europe, as well as large parts of Africa and South America, and elsewhere, according to Ladovaz.

    OneWeb satellites — each about the size of a washing machine and weighing 330 pounds (150 kilograms) — are built at NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre through a joint venture with France’s Airbus. Thursday’s launch occurred just several miles away from the same pad where Apollo astronauts blasted off for the moon, the last time on December 7, 1972.

  • NASA Chooses Elon Musk-Owned SpaceX for Second Crewed Starship Demonstration Mission to Moon Under Artemis

    NASA Chooses Elon Musk-Owned SpaceX for Second Crewed Starship Demonstration Mission to Moon Under Artemis

    Washington, November 16 : NASA has awarded a contract modification to Elon Musk-run SpaceX to further develop its Starship human landing system to meet agency requirements for long-term human exploration of the Moon under Artemis.

    With this addition, SpaceX will provide a second crewed landing demonstration mission in 2027 as part of NASA’s Artemis IV mission. The award is a modification to an existing Human Landing System (HLS) contract between the US space agency and SpaceX.  Elon Musk-Owned SpaceX Buys Big Ad Campaign on Twitter To Promote Starlink Satellite Internet Service.

    The original contract was awarded for $2.9 billion. The contract modification has a value of about $1.15 billion.

    “With multiple planned landers, from SpaceX and future partners, NASA will be better positioned to accomplish the missions of tomorrow: conducting more science on the surface of the Moon than ever before and preparing for crewed missions to Mars,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. Elon Musk’s SpaceX Launches First Falcon Heavy Mission Since 2019 From Florida.

    The aim of this new work under Option B is to develop and demonstrate a Starship lunar lander that meets NASA’s sustaining requirements for missions beyond Artemis III, including docking with Gateway, accommodating four crew members, and delivering more mass to the surface.

    “Continuing our collaborative efforts with SpaceX through Option B furthers our resilient plans for regular crewed transportation to the lunar surface and establishing a long-term human presence under Artemis,” said Lisa Watson-Morgan, manager for the Human Landing System programme at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

    “This critical work will help us focus on the development of sustainable, service-based lunar landers anchored to NASA’s requirements for regularly recurring missions to the lunar surface,” she added.

    NASA initially selected SpaceX to develop a human landing system variant of Starship to land the next American astronauts on the Moon under Artemis III, which will mark humanity’s first return to the lunar surface in more than 50 years.

  • Elon Musk-Owned SpaceX Buys Big Ad Campaign on Twitter To Promote Starlink Satellite Internet Service

    Elon Musk-Owned SpaceX Buys Big Ad Campaign on Twitter To Promote Starlink Satellite Internet Service

    San Francisco, November 14 : Elon Musk-owned SpaceX has bought a large advertising package available on Twitter, the micro-blogging platform that he recently acquired. According to internal records from the platform viewed by CNBC, the campaign will advertise Starlink, a satellite internet service owned and run by SpaceX, on Twitter in Spain and Australia. Elon Musk Refuses To Hire Former T-Mobile President John Legere As Twitter CEO.

    A Twitter ‘takeover’ is the term used to describe the advertising campaign which SpaceX has brought to promote Starlink. When a company purchases one of these packages, they often spend more than $250,000 to have their brand shown at the top of the Twitter timeline for an entire day.

    The first three times a user opens the micro-blogging platform on the day or days of the expected takeover campaign in Australia and Spain, they will receive brand messages from Starlink. Elon Musk Announces Organizations on Twitter Will Be Able To Identify Associated Accounts, Apologizes for App ‘Being Super Slow’.

    “SpaceX has not typically purchased large advertising packages from Twitter,” the report said. Meanwhile, recently, SpaceX had announced that Starlink would be available for recreational vehicles (RVs) in December.

    Starlink for Rvs would allow users to get immediate access to high-speed, low-latency Internet while in motion, at any location where the company provided active coverage.

    The flat high performance service could connect to more satellites because of its broad field of view and improved GPS capabilities, providing reliable connectivity wherever it was needed.
