Moon and Mars Colonization Moves a Big Step Closer With Superheavy Catch

On October 13th, SpaceX successfully plucked the Superheavy booster rocket out of the air with the "Mechazilla arms" attached to the same launch tower from which it had launched (with more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V) about six minutes earlier. This is a key step to setting up permanent human operations on the Moon and Mars.

The current plan is to make this system so reliable, that each Superheavy could be launched several times a day (like an airliner). Until we develop fission or fusion rocket powered space tugs to cycle between the Earth and the Moon, or the Earth and Mars, each Starship launched past Earth orbit will require 6 to 8 refueling flights by other Starships.

We should also note that SpaceX had been waiting since August to get permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to make this flight. The FAA had attempted to delay the launch until late November! Pressure from NASA, Congress, and the general public seems to have had an effect. See the 1 min. video below. MAGA!

Flying Cars: One More Reason We Need a Trump Presidency

"We need to have these things flying safely in the next 36 months!" In this video the CEOs of Joby, Archer, and Wisk—three American electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxi companies—discuss the stultifying processes of FAA certification. Even though they are American companies, building American aircraft, the first commercial use of their systems will be in 2025 in the UAE, because of the determination of Muḥammad bin Zāyid Āl Nahyān (MZB) to foster innovation in his country. They also mention the video that President Trump made about fostering this technology. There is much more here that is worth your time. Despite the FAA, this technology is coming quickly and will have giant effects on the U.S. economy.
