Part 6/13:
SpaceX aims to demonstrate a full reusability cycle—the ship returning quickly, being refitted, and launching again—reducing turnaround times to about 5-6 minutes for booster recovery in optimal conditions. The plan includes launching hundreds of ships in the near future, supporting not only Mars colonization but also Earth's rapid point-to-point transportation, potentially reducing intercontinental trip times to under three months.
The company's satellite network, Starlink, continues to evolve with upgrades that reduce latency. Current latency stands around 30 milliseconds, with aspirations to cut it below 20 ms as satellite technology advances, especially by deploying next-generation satellites at lower altitudes to reduce signal delay.
