A legal battle between Cards Against Humanity and SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, over a plot of land in Texas has come to an end.
Up to now, all 11 Starship launches have taken place from SpaceX’s Starbase site in southern Texas, but soon, additional Starship flights will take place a thousand miles to the east at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
SpaceX launched its record-breaking 133rd Falcon 9 mission of 2025 today (Oct. 22), topping last year's tally with no signs of slowing down before the year ends.
The aerospace and defense giants plan to pool their space activities into a new company aimed at strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy.
SpaceX performed its 133rd Falcon 9 launch of 2025 on Wednesday, setting a new record for the number of launches achieved in a single year. The spaceflight company’s workhorse rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 7:16 a.m. PT, carrying 28 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit.
SpaceX launched its record-setting 139th mission of the year today (Oct. 23). A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today at 9:30 p.m. EDT (0130 GMT on Oct. 24), lofting the second and final satellite for the Spainsat Next Generation (NG) constellation.
It's the 19th flight for the first-stage booster supporting the mission. It's expected to land on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean, meaning no sonic boom is expected to be heard locally.
SpaceX will impose a miles-per-hour restriction on Starlink Mini use in the air, potentially forcing people to pay for a very expensive Starlink Aviation plan.
