the kit ships in 90 minutes; the rescue still says 'preparing your order'

USAF and SpaceX Test Orbital Survival Kit Drop from Space

The US Air Force Research Laboratory, with SpaceX, tested dropping a survival kit from orbit using a Starfall reentry capsule. On October 20, 2026, a Falcon 9 launched from Cape Canaveral carrying a one-tonne cargo module containing an inflatable liferaft and emergency supplies. The goal is to deliver cargo anywhere on Earth within 90 minutes, but the test only proved the kit can be dropped, not that rescue will follow.
