Musk's Terafab chip manufacturing project aims to produce 1 terawatt of computing power, but semiconductor experts warn the goal is extremely difficult, potentially harder than launching Starship. Industry leaders note chip manufacturing requires decades of accumulated knowledge to achieve stable yields, and Terafab may benefit from Intel's production expertise to accelerate development.
SpaceX used bystander videos from cruise ships and resorts to track debris from Starship's seventh test flight explosion over the Caribbean last year. The FAA required SpaceX to file reports on the mishap, but heavily redacted them citing proprietary information, preventing public verification of debris location estimates and safety margin adequacy.
