A great day for Space Junkies* everywhere! Starship 14 reached orbit successfully! At lift off it generates 2.4 TIMES the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket…
Once on orbit it released 26 new & improved Starlink communication/internet satellites. How improved? These 26 just up the capacity of all of Elon’s satellites by 2.8%. It doesn’t sound like much but his network has over 11,000 working satellites right now! Here is Number 15 being ejected via Pez Dispenser.
And over their planned five year life span these 26 will generate between 2.6 and 3.9 BILLION DOLLARS!
A successful water landing. They need to either put legs on it or start using Mechzilla…
Congratulations to Elon, SpaceX and everyone involved!
