As the prophecy foretold, Starship 42 will be the first tower catch
Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US. With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → spacex.com/updates#starlink-…

Good luck tomorrow morning with the Starship launch! First time to orbit - I'll bet all 22,000 employees at @SpaceX will have heads turned skyward. I'll be watching: spacex.com/launches/starship… – at Brownsville, TX

I’m so proud of the entire Falcon 9 team (ok the whole SpaceX team)! Landing a rocket (over 10 years ago) paved the way for Falcon to change the game on getting payloads to orbit. Falcon 9 is a mostly reusable system that is far more reliable, far more economical and far less wasteful than its “use once and toss” rocket counterparts. Starship is Falcon 9’s successor and will be both fully and rapidly reusable (think airplanes) and that will make for a very exciting space future. Congrats once again to the Falcon 9 and broader SpaceX team!
SpaceX's Falcon 9 Booster Landing Team awarded 1st-ever Neil Armstrong Space Prize! 🔥 Purdue awards the prize to “those whose contributions to space in the preceding decade are deemed the most consequential for humanity,” according to the prize’s website. Falcon 9 was the world’s first reusable rocket — a technical achievement long considered impossible in the industry. The team consisted of Lars Blackmore, senior principal Mars landing engineer; Shana Diez, senior director, Starship reliability; Jon Edwards, senior vice president, Falcon & Dragon projects; Yoshiaki Kuwata, principal GNC engineer; and Eduardo Velazquez, director, Crew Starship engineering.

We’re excited to work with 4iG Group to bring Starlink Mobile’s resilient direct-to-device connectivity to millions of people in Europe.  This collaboration will deliver our next-gen technology using SpaceX’s global 2GHz priority rights. We look forward to partnering with many other European operators to ensure everyone has access to this important technology !
Starlink Mobile is expanding in Europe with 4iG Group. The service will first launch in Hungary and Albania with apps and messaging, connecting more people in remote areas. Starlink Mobile's next-gen V2 will then expand to Montenegro and North Macedonia, delivering high-speed broadband directly to mobile phones on our harmonized spectrum used worldwide 🛰️📱

Congrats Falcon team!
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!
