SpaceX breaks launch record with 156th Falcon 9 flight
SpaceX just smashed its own record, sending up its 156th Falcon 9 rocket this year.
Thursday's launch from California added 28 more Starlink satellites to orbit, pushing their total past 9,000 and keeping SpaceX at the forefront of global satellite internet.
Reusable rockets keep making history
The booster for this mission completed its fourth trip to space and back.
After liftoff, it landed smoothly on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" in the Pacific, showing off how reusable rockets are quickly becoming routine for SpaceX.
Starlink: aiming for worldwide internet (and sparking debate)
Starlink's goal is simple: bring fast internet everywhere, especially to places that usually get left out.
With approval for up to 42,000 satellites, SpaceX isn't slowing down—even as astronomers voice concerns about crowded skies and brighter nights.
This latest launch shows just how committed they are to connecting the world, one rocket at a time.
