SpaceX blasted off another batch of Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral on December 1, 2025 – marking its 15th orbital mission this year. The Falcon 9 rocket carried 42 internet-beaming satellites destined to join the growing mega-constellation that's currently providing coverage to over 90 countries. 🌐
📸 Witnesses cheered as the first-stage booster landed smoothly on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean – its 12th successful recovery! This reusability milestone continues to drive down space access costs, a key factor in SpaceX's ambitious plans to deploy 42,000 satellites by 2027.
'This launch brings us closer to bridging the digital divide,' tweeted Elon Musk shortly after deployment. With 5,800+ operational Starlink satellites now circling Earth, the network recently expanded services to hikers and sailors through new portable user terminals. 🏕️⛵
