Soak in the feels today, space fans. I think today's Super Heavy catch and landing is an equivalent moment to the first Falcon landing in 2015, if not a bigger one. The magic of SpaceX is that they turn the impossible into the routine. It will only get more exciting from here.
First video call on @X completed through @Starlink Direct to Cell satellites from unmodified mobile phones!
We’re excited to go live with @TMobile later this year 🛰️🌎
My grandparents were around for the start of radio, then tv, and they bailed on further tech after they got a touch-tone phone. The internet was just too freaky for them. My parents bailed at an Alexa. I think I'm bailing at AI. I was around for Limewire, I've seen enough.
BREAKING: SpaceX is now offering a Starlink service that can deliver 10 gigabit internet speeds, the fastest satellite internet speeds in the world.
Starting at $75,000/Gbps/month with a one-time upfront cost of $1.25M:
• Download speed: 10Gbps
• Upload: 10Gbps
• Latency: Under 99 ms
For that $1.25M one time fee, SpaceX won’t just send a dish; it’ll help build an entire facility dedicated to receiving up to 10Gbps in broadband speeds from the company’s fleet of orbiting satellites.
This new service is a business program: "With Community Gateways, Starlink satellites are able to deliver fiber-like speeds with local providers distributing connectivity to homes, businesses, and governments using last-mile fiber, fixed wireless and mobile wireless. The Community Gateway traffic transits through Starlink's global laser mesh network and utilizes our high bandwidth Gateways operating in a dedicated Ka spectrum band."

Starlink is now available in Paraguay, making it the 70th country on Earth where people can get connected by high-speed, low-latency internet from space🛰️🇵🇾❤️ → https://t.co/dgF4Amsh4T
Hot staging, while not new, has never been done on this scale and on a (future) reusable vehicle!!! This was a HUGE milestone and was my biggest doubt before the launch. So happy to see a clean stage separation and a smooth start up of Starship!
Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second integrated flight test of Starship!
Starship successfully lifted off under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster and made it through stage separation
SpaceX breaks the record for the first Falcon 9 to complete 18 missions!
I never get tired of seeing these launches. My recovery has been slow and steady. Unfortunately, I'm still not cleared to walk for another 5 weeks. Again, thank you everyone for your kind words ❤

Watching a solar eclipse can be a bewildering communion with nature, but also fleeting and ephemeral, over in minutes.
I often seek out the remotest locations to experience them, meaning I’m usually hours away from a cell signal.
But as a creator who enjoys sharing these fleeting moments, timeliness is a top priority. Being able to connect and instantly share via my @starlink from wherever I am on Earth isn’t just reassuring but also insanely powerful.
Spirituality, for me, is based on the connections we make, and they’re the reason why friendships and communities thrive in our space. Connection gives us the power to support, to learn, and to share our experiences with others 🫂
