This morning’s @SpaceX mission from pad 40 was the last planned Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Florida (and it launched on the fleet leading booster!!), marking the end of an era for these launches on the East Coast. From here on, Starlink missions out of Florida will fly on Starship. The West Coast team will continue regularly launching Starlink from Vandenberg.
Super proud of this incredible team. You’ve made Falcon 9 the most reliable launch vehicle in history. You also helped build the largest low-Earth orbit satellite constellation providing connectivity to millions around the world, and you’ve set the foundation for what’s next.
In the last seven years, Falcon has flown ~260 Starlink missions from the Cape… can’t wait until we launch that and many more with Starship!
Here are some of the clearest images of Starship in space, captured by cameras on Starlink V3 satellite during Flight 13

Starship soared on the second flight of the next generation, deploying advanced Starlink satellites for the first time and providing priceless data as it travelled through air, space, and sea → https://t.co/Rp7VwBzpWx
I don't invest in space stocks because I cover space companies, or pretend to understand irrational market moves. But the idea that a space company stock would fall after an abort, which actually saved the rocket shows the company's procedures work as intended, is pretty dumb.
The @SpaceX Starship 39A Tower Team completed operation 1776 this morning.
Happy 4th of July to all and 250th birthday to the greatest country on Earth 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!!!!
SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models.
For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.
We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities
