SpaceX Launched Twice This Week — And Starship Is Almost Ready
The rocket company that never sleeps just got busier.
From Cape Canaveral to Vandenberg, SpaceX lit up both coasts in 48 hours — and Starship's biggest test yet is just days away.
Falcon 9 launched Starlink 10-33 — 29 v2 Mini satellites from SLC-40. Booster nailed the droneship landing. Business as usual for SpaceX.
Starlink 17-15 lifted off from SLC-4E. Sonic booms rattled California's Central Coast. 25 more satellites added to the growing grid.
Elon posted March 7: "Starship V3 first flight in about 4 weeks." April 9 is the aggressive target. Static fires and stacking must finish first.
SpaceX completed Super Heavy V3 cryo loading and a 10-engine static fire. Elon posted: "Getting closer to Starship launch!" Progress is real.
The FCC communications license covers April 5–October 5, 2026. Once stacking is done and final checks clear, Flight 12 can go anytime.
It will get really nutty when Starship is launching every hour in 3 years. Elon even predicts 24+ launches in a single day within 6–7 years.
SpaceX isn't slowing down. Starlink keeps expanding, Starship V3 is stacking, and Musk's hourly-launch future is closer than it sounds.
