2025 flights (e.g., Flight 5 report, Flight 8, 9, 10+): Reused boosters, higher angle-of-attack descents, deterministic flip, payload deploy demos (mock Starlink), V3 vehicle iterations with upgraded cameras/Starlink comms for 4K streaming. Multiple catches achieved. Rapid iteration: 'Fly, learn, repeat.' Leading into 2026: ~12 integrated flights targeted with booster recovery/catch and Starship reentry/landing burn demos. NASA Artemis HLS milestones met (life support, legs, docking sims, etc.). Plans: uncrewed Mars cargo first, crewed lunar, point-to-point Earth transport. Current (2026) launch cadence 1–3+ per week overall.
