SpaceX’s Starship Flight 14 launched last week, marking a new era for the space industry. It reached orbit and successfully deployed 26 Starlink satellites. It has rightly been described as a genuine change in what is economically and physically possible in space. This was not just another rocket launch, as Starship’s fully reusable design can lift 100 tonnes to 150 tonnes to low Earth orbit. This means it has more than twice the capacity of Blue Origin’s New Glenn and NASA’s Space Launch System
