SpaceX's 14th Starship test flight lifted off from Starbase, Texas at 7:48 a.m. CT on 28 September 2026 and became the first Starship to reach orbit, after 13 earlier flights that were all suborbital. One of the ship's six engines shut down during ascent; Starship still reached orbit and released 26 Starlink V3 satellites, the first of the new generation and its first operational payload. The flight was cut from a planned ten hours to about three: the ship deorbited and splashed down in the Pacific north of Hawaii, and the Super Heavy booster splashed down in the Gulf off Starbase instead of a tower catch.

President Donald Trump announced in the Oval Office at 2 p.m. ET on 28 September 2026 that Mesabi Metallics will invest about $15 billion in a steel plant in Iowa, which the White House calls the largest of its kind in US history and the first mega steel plant built in the country since the 1960s. The plant is due to start producing steel in 2030. Its first phase is put at about 7.5 million tons a year with up to 6,000 construction jobs, rising to 10 million tons a year and at least 1,750 permanent jobs. It will run on iron ore from Mesabi's new mine at Nashwauk on Minnesota's Iron Range, and Iowa lawmakers have discussed tax incentives for a plant in Lee County in the state's southeast. The announcement came weeks before the November midterm elections, as Trump pointed to his 50% steel tariffs as the driver of new US steel investment.
