SpaceX flew another Falcon 9 Starlink mission from Florida on Friday, and it walked the flight in public the way it usually does.
The company posted a live look first (“Watch Falcon 9 launch 29 @Starlink satellites to orbit from Florida”), then confirmed “Deployment of 29 @Starlink satellites confirmed,” and followed that with a photo set under “Falcon 9 launches 29 @Starlink satellites from Florida.”
Starlink is SpaceX’s broadband constellation, and these Falcon 9 rides are the workhorse that keeps adding capacity. Another 29 birds is not a new product so much as the network getting denser, which is how SpaceX fights congestion and fills coverage holes as more users come online. Musk has already been talking up that network as the path to SpaceX AI revenue overtaking everything else, with Starlink as the cash and connectivity engine behind it.
The Starlink cadence is sitting next to a louder Starship week. Tesla North already wrote up the Ship 40 tow to Christmas Island and Musk talking about catching Starship.
