Once you have seen a Super Heavy catch, the only satisfying next chapter is watching it become practice. Flight 7 energy — more tower work, more Ship heat-shield mileage, more of the profile turning into something like a route instead of a prayer — is the industrialisation of awe. I want the chopsticks to look busy, not mythical.
On the business side, Starlink spin-off rumours are doing their seasonal migration through timelines and group chats. I am logging them as rumours, full stop. Spinning Starlink out would be a capital-markets story; keeping it inside SpaceX is just as coherent if the constellation is the funding engine for the freighter. I will not narrate a demerger that has not happened.
The invest wish from mid-2021 has not gone quiet. Catch videos make it louder. Every time the tower wins, more people ask how to underwrite the next decade. Still private. Still cheering. Still itching.
Tesla’s cadence and xAI’s climb sit on the same wider calendar; Boring Company tunnels remain a side thread. Useful texture, not the plot. The plot is a booster that can be caught and a Ship that can survive the trip home often enough to matter.
The milestone that would make me shout at the laptop is Super Heavy reuse — a caught booster flying again. That is Falcon’s good boring trick at Starship scale. Next up: Flight 9 territory, first Super Heavy reuse, and the catch thesis earning a second stamp.
