$SPCX just hit a milestone that changes the Starship story.
Starship reached orbit for the first time and deployed 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites.
It wasn’t a perfect flight — one Raptor engine shut down early, forcing SpaceX to cut the mission short. But the rocket still reached orbit and delivered its payload.
That’s the part that matters.
Starship is moving from “future technology” toward an actual operational system. And with NASA’s Moon plans also depending on Starship, the next few flights could be huge.
The real question now: can SpaceX solve the engine reliability issues and make Starship reusable at scale?
This is getting serious. 🚀
