  • Peter Zeihan highlights SpaceX’s Starship completing its first “mostly successful” test flight, framing it as a significant step forward despite notable issues.
  • The Starship successfully reached orbit, deployed 26 Starlink satellites, and returned, but experienced engine failures during both launch and reentry, culminating in a crash landing.
  • Despite these “hiccups,” Zeihan characterizes the mission as unequivocally “a step in the right direction” for SpaceX’s ambitious space development.
