The first performance numbers from SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service are coming in and they're looking great. End-user terminal production numbers, though, are another matter.

China is building a floating spaceport from which it can launch rockets from the Pacific Ocean. The “Eastern Aerospace Port” off the coast of Haiyang city in the province of Shandong will also be used the building and maintenance of small rockets. It’s being developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC), the nation’s biggest defense contractor, Universe Today reports.

If the weather cooperates.

As a strengthening low pressure system crossed the Florida peninsula on Sunday, weather conditions at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station were poor all day. There were intermittent showers and plenty of lightning. By mid-morning, SpaceX had already canceled one launch from Florida, a mission carrying five dozen Starlink satellites. But the company held out hope for getting the second flight of a planned doubleheader off on Sunday evening, and by the time the clock ticked down on the SAOCOM-1B mission, weather conditions began to marginally improve.

The latest prototype of Elon Musk's Starship prototype has only flown about 500 feet (150 meters) in the air, but the SpaceX CEO said Monday his rocket company may begin construction of a booster prototype to pair with Starship as soon as this week. "That's gonna be pretty cool," Musk said in a keynote interview at the virtual Humans To Mars summit.

Having seen off two Falcon 9s, both from the East Coast of the United States, within four days of one another last week, SpaceX looks set—once again—to attempt as many as four launches this month, with two more Starlink flights and a critical mission to deliver a Block III Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation and timing satellite to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) on behalf of the U.S. Space Force.

Hidden in the code of a SpaceX website are the first official pictures of satellite dishes that will connect future subscribers to Starlink — a fleet of low-flying, internet-beaming satellites. What's more, a review of the site's code by Business Insider turned up numerous credible details about how an upcoming beta test of Starlink might work.

A new environmental review may derail plans to launch Starships to Mars, but a former FAA official says SpaceX founder Musk shouldn't worry too much.

Images are emerging online of Comet NEOWISE—a spectacular comet from the outer Solar System on a once-in-6,800 years journey into the inner Solar System—that also show Elon Musk’s SpaceX’s Starlink satellites. An image created by Daniel López of El Cielo de Canarias (The Sky of The Canary Islands), published on Facebook and circulated on Twitter by astronomer Julien Girard shows Comet NEOWISE being “completely photobombed” by dozens of the unexpectedly bright satellites:

And the phone bill should go to Elon Musk.

After a prolonged delay, American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company, SpaceX, launched its ninth operational flight of internet satellites ‘Starlink.’ The launch comes at the cost of three delays reaching back to late June due to weather and technical issues. The lift-off was at 1:12 a.m. ET (10:12 p.m. PT) on Friday, when the company’s Falcon 9 rocket ascended from Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

SpaceX is manufacturing its Starlink satellites at an unprecedented rate for the space industry.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, a black-and-white spacecraft raced through the atmosphere, ionizing molecules, and creating a plasma inferno. Amidst this fireball, two astronauts sheltered within the small haven of Dragonship Endeavour, as its carbon-based heat shield crisped and flaked away.

SpaceX is a leader in aerospace innovation -rocket reusability is one of its top priorities. The company has designed and manufactured some of the world’s most advanced rockets, capable of launching payload to orbit and returning from space to be reused. Aerospace companies use a rocket once; SpaceX engineers developed a rocket recovery system to reuse the first-stage booster of the two-stage Falcon 9 rocket. To date, the company has successfully returned 58 orbital-class rocket boosters from space, soon after deploying payload.

In rocketry, what goes up usually comes down in pieces. The cost of getting to orbit is exorbitant, because the rocket, with its multimillion-dollar engines, ends up as trash in the ocean after one launching.

paceX had to scrub Tuesday's attempt to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying cargo to the International Space Station and make a historic rocket landing in the process. The landing experiment would have involved bringing the first stage of the two-stage rocket down onto a floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean, about 200 miles off the coast of Florida. Such a feat has never been done before. A successful maneuver would have marked a significant step toward making rockets more reusable...

SpaceX's Dragon capsule is one step closer to flying astronauts to and from the International Space Station. SpaceX has passed NASA's "certification baseline review," which required the California-based company to outline exactly how it plans to ferry crews to and from the orbiting lab using the Dragon spacecraft and its Falcon 9 rocket under SpaceX's Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract with the space agency.

After a lot of publicity and one aborted launch attempt, SpaceX tried to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a drone barge this morning. 'Tried' very much being the key word.

Last week, SpaceX tried to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a drone barge and failed. Now Elon Musk has posted footage of the crash landing on Twitter. It isn't pretty.

SpaceX's quest for rocket reusability is on the right track, having pinpointed the problems that led to the destruction of a used Falcon9 rocket last week.
