A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 27 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Oct. 23, 2026, at 6:48 p.m. EDT (3:48 p.m. PDT / 2248 GMT). 

The mission marked SpaceX's 116th Falcon 9 launch of the year, with the rocket's first-stage booster completing another successful landing aboard the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean.

I had an issue that Starlink customer service handled today. After texting back and forth they called me. Problems solved. I wish they’d get the Gen 3 satellites up and launch the full DTC service. I’m ready.

Have a nephew down in Bama on Starlink. He’s very happy with it.
He’s a work from home so needs a dependable high-capacity link. He clears 200M minimum, sometimes 300M+.
I run 100M for six computers and two TVs with Firesticks. We don’t buffer or spool.

I’ve seen countless booster recoveries and am awed every time!

I got the free (sort of) mini a year ago. Decided I could live with my Gen 2 on the house dropped back to 100 residential and put the mini to 100 roam instead of residential max on the house. Now the mini travels where I do and I save $20 a month. I want the DTC up then it’s bye AT&T. My rural living spot used to screw me for service. Now I’m happy out here.

Booster 1063 on its 36th flight and landing. Amazing.
