What is Starfall for?
SpaceX is unusually quiet about Starfall, which is a small, reusable cargo capsule. Unlike its larger, more public Starship project, Starfall's purpose, contents, and landing sites remain undisclosed. This secrecy suggests it might be for internal SpaceX use or a highly specialised client, rather than general commercial cargo.
