TechCrunch Space: Inverted


Hello, and welcome back to TechCrunch Space. We are insanely close to TechCrunch Disrupt -- have you checked out the final agenda for the Space Stage

NB: If you’re wondering why last week’s TechCrunch Space didn’t include a single mention of Starship’s fifth integrated flight test, it’s because these editions are finalized on Friday. The California Coastal Commission made its decision at an October 10 meeting, despite the U.S. Air Force endorsing the plan on the grounds that more launches of Starlink and Starshield, the defense-focused unit, are critical to national security. A reusable SpaceX Starship will very likely be able to carry cargo and robots directly to the moon — no SLS, Orion, Gateway, Block 1B or ML-2 required — at a small fraction of the cost.
