At 1:02 a.m. EDT, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking another step forward in the Starlink journey. With 28 new satellites placed into low-Earth orbit, this mission brings us closer to seamless, high-speed global internet connectivity.
The launch was highlighted by the record-setting 28th flight of the first-stage booster, which returned with a flawless landing on the drone ship “Just Read the Instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean. If you’ve ever dealt with technology that didn’t quite meet expectations, you can appreciate the precision that SpaceX consistently demonstrates.
Within an hour, SpaceX confirmed on their platform, X, that the satellites were successfully deployed—another reassuring nod to their commitment to reliable, cutting-edge space technology. This mission not only extends the Starlink network but also reinforces the robust engineering behind each launch.
