This achievement represents a significant advancement in reusable rocket technology and is a crucial step toward future missions to Mars. The starship, which stands 400 feet tall, symbolizes a tenfold growth potential in SpaceX’s business model due to the reusability of its components.

SpaceX just landed a skyscraper rocket with chopsticks… It’s the 1st step to landing on Mars.

Taco Bell’s newest innovation isn’t food, it’s financial… Name-your-own-price.

Tesla finally unveiled their robo-taxi (and a cyber-bus and humanoid robots)… but Wall Street thinks it’s empty calories.

It’s National Failure Day… so we’re celebrating the losses (yes, that typo was on purpose).
