SpaceX is launching a secret spacecraft that could change how things are made in space (3 minute read) (opens in new tab)

SpaceX's Starfall is a reentry capsule that is capable of returning up to 2,200 pounds of payload from orbit. Its disk-shaped geometry maximizes structural efficiency and payload volume relative to mass. Starfall is designed to be mass-produced and launched on either Falcon 9 or Starship. SpaceX plans to launch the first flight of Starfall today from Space Launch Complex 40.
