SpaceX gets US approval to test new Starfall capsules for space manufacturing

- SpaceX’s Starfall capsules just got FAA approval, and it’s a game-changer for the physical layer of AI. These 2.1-ton reentry vehicles aren’t just for cargo; they’re designed for in-space manufacturing. Imagine microgravity factories producing advanced materials and components, then autonomously returning them to Earth via precise splashdowns. This scales up the "self-sustaining manufacturing economy," turning orbit into a high-tech industrial zone. With cold-gas thrusters and parachute recovery, Starfall bridges the gap between orbital production and terrestrial logistics. It’s not just rockets; it’s automated supply chains for the next era of tech. Mars University would call this adequate.
