SpaceX in talks to land and recover Starship rocket off Australia's coast

SpaceX is reportedly discussing landing and recovering one of its Starship rockets off the coast of Australia, in collaboration with U.S. and Australian officials. This move could potentially strengthen the company's presence in the region and contribute to boosting security ties between the two countries. The plan involves launching the Starship from Texas, landing it in the sea off Australia's coast, and then recovering it on Australian territory. However, loosening export controls on advanced space technologies bound for Australia would be necessary for this arrangement. The talks also highlight the U.S.'s intent to assist Australia in strengthening its defense against China.

Internal pre-Starlink SpaceX financials show big spending on moonshot bets

Confidential financial reports from SpaceX reveal the company's dependence on its Starlink business unit and the launch of its Starship rocket to achieve positive cash flow. The reports, from 2018 and 2019, show that while SpaceX's revenue increased to $1.98 billion in 2018 and $1.45 billion in 2019, the company operated at a net loss of -$308 million and -$501 million respectively. SpaceX's focus on the Starlink and Starship programs is evident through its spending on research and development. Despite this, SpaceX has seen significant growth and now has over 2.5 million customers for its satellite internet service.
