SpaceX has had an explosive few days, setting new records and capturing worldwide attention. Early Sunday morning, July 27, SpaceX launched 24 more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, their second mission in less than 24 hours. According to Space.com, this marked SpaceX's 95th mission of 2025 and the 520th completed mission for the company overall. The Falcon 9 first stage used in this latest launch achieved its 19th mission and once again landed successfully on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You" stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

This back-to-back campaign comes right on the heels of Saturday morning’s launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, when SpaceX sent up 28 Starlink satellites, as reported by the Economic Times and WTKR News 3. The booster used then marked its 22nd flight, emphasizing SpaceX’s commitment to reusability and rapid turnaround. These efforts have pushed the active Starlink satellite count past 8,000, with the network now serving over 6 million users worldwide. However, just before that Cape Canaveral launch, Starlink suffered a rare, hours-long internet outage affecting millions globally due to software issues. Starlink’s Michael Nicholls publicly apologized and said SpaceX continues investigating and will strengthen the network’s reliability.

Listeners in places like Virginia and South Carolina reported seeing bright streaks and glowing orbs in the pre-dawn skies as these launches took place—reminders of just how visible SpaceX’s presence has become in people’s daily lives. Social media exploded with photos and videos of the unusual lights across multiple states, with some users describing the spectacle as "comet-like" and even briefly causing UFO speculation, according to reporting from WTKR and WLTX.

Looking ahead, NASA says the next focus for SpaceX is the upcoming Crew-11 launch, targeted for July 31 from Kennedy Space Center. The crew—NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, JAXA’s Kimiya Yui, and Roscosmos’ Oleg Platonov—arrived in Florida this weekend and are preparing for a six- to eight-month mission on the International Space Station. NASA and SpaceX managers completed a readiness review and confirmed the July 31 liftoff window. Listeners interested in the astronaut experience can watch coverage and crew remarks on NASA’s social media.

On the social gossip front, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk got fans buzzing again by teasing Starlink upgrades and joking about “putting a Dogecoin node in orbit,” fueling speculation and memes across Twitter and Reddit. Meanwhile, inside sources are abuzz about SpaceX engineers celebrating their hundredth Falcon 9 booster recovery. The energy on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with memes and behind-the-scenes photos from Vandenberg and Cape Canaveral, show SpaceX’s vibrant internal culture and the public’s ongoing fascination with the company.
