SpaceX has been extremely active in the last week, pushing forward on multiple fronts in space launch and satellite internet. According to Spaceflight Now, just yesterday—November 24, 2025—SpaceX successfully launched 28 Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit with a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This mission used the veteran booster B1097, flying for its fourth time, with a textbook landing on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You stationed in the Pacific Ocean. This marks yet another notch in the company’s relentless Starlink expansion, aimed at making high-speed internet accessible around the globe.

Looking ahead, The Desert Sun reports that listeners can expect two more Falcon 9 launches from California before the end of November. The next mission is already being prepped for November 26, which is expected to put another batch of Starlink satellites in orbit—a cadence that has SpaceX outpacing all other launch providers.

Meanwhile, rivalry in satellite internet is heating up. Gulf News recently highlighted Amazon’s Project Kuiper, now rebranded as Leo, which just debuted its Leo Ultra terminal. This new terminal aims to deliver up to 1 Gbps download speeds and 400 Mbps uploads, putting Amazon in direct competition with SpaceX’s Starlink. Even so, critics point out the irony that Amazon is still dependent on SpaceX rockets for launching their own satellites. There’s growing chatter on social media speculating about a possible price war between Starlink and Leo, which could mean better deals and faster speeds for end users. Listeners are also buzzing about the possibility that Starlink might roll out hardware and speed upgrades to stay ahead.

On the social media and gossip side, SpaceX captured the spotlight after the FAA lifted early evening launch restrictions, allowing Elon Musk and his team to resume launches in prime early spectator hours, much to the delight of fans and night sky enthusiasts as reported by Spaceflight Now. There’s been rampant speculation on X (formerly Twitter) about the next generation of SpaceX rockets. Reteuro mentioned SpaceX “closing the book” on version 2 of its mega-rocket, fueling excitement over what breakthroughs are coming next. Social media is also teeming with debates about Starlink’s expansion into more rural and underserved areas, with user reports pouring in of dramatically improved connectivity.

SpaceX continues to dominate not only the skies but also headlines and social media feeds, refusing to yield an inch in the new space race—whether it's launching satellites, boosting internet speeds, or being the topic of everyone’s space gossip.
