SpaceX just completed yet another successful launch, sending 28 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on November 6th, 2025. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 1:13 p.m. local time, marking the eighth flight for booster B1093, which landed smoothly on the droneship “Of Course I Still Love You” in the Pacific Ocean. This launch adds to a staggering pace for SpaceX: it’s their 142nd Falcon 9 launch of the year and the 102nd dedicated to building out the Starlink internet constellation. The rapid cadence means new Starlink satellites are joining a fleet that now exceeds 8,800 spacecraft, fueling SpaceX’s global ambitions.Starlink continues breaking records. According to TechCrunch, Starlink has soared past 8 million global users, growing from 6 million just since June. Starlink is now available in 150 countries. SpaceX is also accelerating the service’s technological evolution—the company will acquire $2.6 billion of wireless spectrum from EchoStar, a deal reported by Vavoza and TechCrunch, which will help Starlink’s direct-to-cell constellation that’s bringing satellite-based 5G to T-Mobile users. The move will supercharge efforts to provide connectivity everywhere, even on regular cell phones. EchoStar, pushed by U.S. regulators and the previous administration, decided to sell spectrum, pivoting away from its own satellite internet plans.Commercial aviation is also getting a Starlink makeover. The International Airlines Group, which operates British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, just announced it’ll install Starlink inflight internet on over 500 planes, starting in 2026. European flyers will soon have fast, reliable Starlink WiFi on almost every flight, joining U.S. airlines like Hawaiian, United, and Qatar Airways in rolling out the service.SpaceX isn’t just in the headlines for rocket launches and business milestones. On the gossip front, Elon Musk has been stirring online conversations with an audacious new plan to combat climate change. According to UNILAD Tech, Musk proposes using a future constellation of satellites to block portions of the sun's energy from striking the Earth—an idea he shared on social media, which has triggered lively debate and viral memes about “Musk’s space sunblock.” While Musk is known for sky-high concepts, this suggestion has drawn everything from hopeful praise to skepticism by scientists and climate activists.Elsewhere, NASA’s acting chief Sean Duffy reignited competition on the Human Landing System for the Artemis moon missions, prompting SpaceX to take their defense public. Aviation Week reports that SpaceX remains adamant that Starship is still the fastest path to getting humans back on the Moon, doubling down in the face of criticism and delays.This week on social media, listeners can find viral clips of the Starlink 321 launch plastered across X and YouTube, as well as memes about Musk’s sun-blocking satellites and spirited debates over Starship’s lunar ambitions. SpaceX’s blend of rapid technical achievement, bold ventures, and sometimes wild ambitions ensures their status as one of the world’s most watched companies.Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe.
