SpaceX just launched another 24 Starlink satellites, pushing the active constellation to more than 10,700 satellites in orbit. What's even more impressive is the pace—this was the company's 79th Falcon 9 launch of 2026, with another flawless booster landing.
Think about that for a second. A launch cadence that once seemed impossible is now almost routine. Reusable rockets have completely changed the economics of getting to space, and every successful mission moves us one step closer to an era where frequent access to orbit is simply the norm.
It's hard not to appreciate just how much SpaceX has changed the space industry in a relatively short time.
