What changed in the record
Every time we add a promise, move a date, record something that happened or fix a mistake, it shows up here with the reason. Small wording fixes and technical rebuilds do not.
SpaceX says Starship goes orbital from Flight 14
A new target was recorded for orbital flight, tied to a flight number rather than a date. The same statement links operational Starlink V3 delivery and the first orbital propellant transfer to the start of orbital missions, so both records now carry that context. The 2026 propellant transfer window was neither restated nor withdrawn.
Terafab site named, with no schedule attached
Added a company-execution milestone for the Terafab facility in Grimes County. The record notes that the announcement's groundbreaking headline refers to a Tesla research fab at Giga Texas, not to construction in Grimes County, and that no completion date was stated.
Flight 13 deploys 20 Starlink V3 satellites, but not into a lasting orbit
Recorded the Flight 13 deployment as partial progress. All twenty satellites deployed and were communicated with, and SpaceX states they were expected to demise on reentry about twenty minutes later, so the record stays partially achieved rather than achieved.
SPCX trading confirmed against the stated 12 June date
The company's pricing release stated an expected first trading date; Nasdaq's newsroom records trading opening on that date. The milestone moved to achieved on the exchange source, not on the company's expectation.
Starship V3 flies for the first time on Flight 12
Recorded the V3 debut as achieved against the stated criteria, which cover the integrated flight rather than booster recovery. The record notes the engine shutdown during ascent, the partial boostback burn and the hard booster splashdown.
Two crewed Starship missions announced without dates
Added records for the commercial circumlunar flyby and the crewed Mars flyby. Both carry an unknown target window: the announcement names crew and mission profiles but no launch date, and this site does not infer one.
Both remaining HLS flight tests targeted for 2026
Recorded the original 2026 target window for the long-duration flight test and the ship-to-ship propellant transfer test, at the year precision SpaceX used. The roughly five tonnes of propellant already moved between tanks in space is recorded as partial evidence, since it was an intra-vehicle transfer.
