SpaceX just demonstrated a launch cadence no other company on Earth can match
Just over 17 hours after Starship Flight 13 launched from Texas, Falcon 9 lifted off from California on the Starlink 17-51 mission
Starship deployed 20 next-generation Starlink V3 test satellites, survived reentry and completed a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean
Falcon 9 then carried another 24 Starlink V2 Mini satellites into orbit, while its booster landed successfully on Of Course I Still Love You
Two rockets, two launch sites, 44 Starlink satellites deployed. Two successful missions, all in under 18 hours
SpaceX’s launch cadence is in a league of its own
