A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 23 Starlink Satellites from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on May 18, 2024 at 8:32 p.m. EDT (0032 GMT on May 18).
According to Space.com, the Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth about 8.5 minutes after liftoff as planned, touching down on the SpaceX drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the 21st flight for the booster, a new record.

While I cheer any American flight into space, Blue Origin is a joke. Sure it gets up to 65 miles, but it is back on the ground in 10 minutes. 10 minutes. Not really into space, not into orbit, just a carnival ride.
I missed out on the Titan submersible to see the Titanic, I’ll try this one out. My luck has to change.
“A Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launched the NS-25 mission from Texas on May 19, 2025.”
Apparently it’s not really scheduled to fly until 364 days from now.
No Elon and his Falcon 9+Dragon launches people into space as in orbit. Bezo little mushroom head rocket launches people into a ballistic path up and down never into orbit. It doesn’t matter if you pass the Kalman line it’s still not space flight. Try again Bezo.
