SpaceX has just completed its 119th Falcon 9 mission of the year earlier today, September 21, sending 28 new Starlink internet satellites to low Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, according to Space.com. The launch took place at 6:53 a.m. Eastern and saw the Falcon 9 first stage make a successful landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas. This same booster, flying its 11th mission, previously supported major flights including Crew-9 and a private lunar lander on the Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1. SpaceX continues to dominate launch frequency in 2025, also performing four Starship suborbital tests this year—the newest of which, on August 26, marked the tenth launch of Starship and was reported as a complete success.On the social front, Elon Musk has, once again, stirred up conversation. This week Musk blocked veteran actor James Woods on the platform X after Woods criticized his plan to remove the block feature from the site. Musk responded to critics by joking on X that he enjoys blocking people who complain about the potential change. The move is part of his bigger strategy, as Musk has repeatedly promised to strengthen X’s mute function instead, making posts from muted accounts invisible. This ongoing shift in moderation tools has ignited widespread debate about harassment and free speech, with Woods claiming Musk's motives have shifted from defending open platforms to profit and advertising, though Woods said he would never voluntarily leave the site.Adding to the intrigue, Musk this week directly denied rumors circulating about an enormous raise for his AI company, xAI. Addressing speculation of a $200 billion valuation and a $10 billion fundraising round, Musk labeled it all “fake news” and affirmed that xAI is not currently pursuing fresh outside capital, according to Binance’s reporting. Despite challenges like executive departures, Musk remains bullish about the company’s trajectory and continued investments in powerful AI infrastructure, such as their supercomputing center in Memphis.For listeners looking forward, SpaceX teased new images of Starship on X this week but remains tight-lipped about the exact timeline for the next test flight. There’s continuous chatter on social media platforms, fueled by every successful launch and by Musk’s online persona, keeping both supporters and critics closely watching SpaceX’s next move.Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe.
