With Starfall, SpaceX eyes an edge in global cargo delivery from orbit
Summary
Ars Technica reports SpaceX's Starfall reentry pod aims to enable point-to-point cargo delivery from low-Earth orbit, potentially serving military and commercial markets. The first demonstration is planned with a two-orbit mission and a parachute-assisted splashdown, and the FAA environmental assessment outlines the vehicle's role in space logistics and in-space manufacturing prospects.
