It’s been a few weeks since Starship’s Flight 10, and SpaceX is finally lining up Flight 11—this time with some genuinely interesting tweaks to how they operate the whole Starship stack. We’re talking smarter landing burns, fresh heat-shield work, and a push toward faster turnaround. And while SpaceX grabs most of the headlines (as usual), Blue Origin is once again trying to slip into the spotlight with New Glenn—yet somehow still struggling to make people care. We’ll unpack all of it in this video: what’s new on Flight 11, what Blue Origin’s doing to catch up, and why it matters for the next chapter of spaceflight.

After weeks of nonstop work, SpaceX finally rolled out Ship 38—the top half of the Starship system—on October 11th. The lower half, Booster 15, had already been transported to the launch pad a few days earlier. Together, these two make up the most powerful rocket in the world.
Before the rollout, engineers were busy inside the massive production bays at Starbase, preparing Ship 38 for transport.
By that afternoon, Ship 38 began its slow rollout from the production site toward the launch pad, moving through Starbase under careful escort. The huge stainless-steel spacecraft gleamed in the Texas sunlight, its silver body reflecting the heat and dust. Every tile on its surface represents years of development to make sure it can survive the extreme temperatures during re-entry from space.
