SpaceX launches 29 Starlink satellites, sets new record
SpaceX pulled off another early-morning launch from Florida, sending 29 Starlink satellites into orbit with their Falcon 9 rocket.
This mission wasn't just routine—it marked the company's 143rd Falcon 9 flight this year and saw Booster 1069 notch its 28th trip to space before landing safely at sea.
The current record for most flights by a Falcon 9 booster is 31, set last month by Booster 1067.
With over 8,800 Starlink satellites now circling Earth, SpaceX is pushing hard to make global internet coverage a reality.
SpaceX continues to push boundaries in space tech
If you're into space or tech, it's pretty wild how reusable rockets are becoming the norm—and SpaceX keeps breaking its own records.
Plus, every new batch of Starlink satellites means more people around the world could soon get fast internet, even in places that have always been offline.
