The universe really said 'full circle' on Sep 28th for SpaceX. 18 years of orbit firsts on the same day is wild.

September 28 just became a SpaceX date worth remembering. 2008: Falcon 1 reaches orbit — saving a young SpaceX from the edge. 2026: Starship reaches orbit for the first time — 18 years to the day. And this time it carried 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit. My read: The remarkable part isn't just the symmetry. It's what happened between those two dates: SpaceX went from fighting simply to reach orbit to building a system designed to make orbital access routine. Bottom line: Same date. Different era. 18 years apart — and the scale of the ambition is almost impossible to miss. 🚀

🌎SpaceX and Elon Musk have marked an immense historical milestone in the history of space exploration. Exactly 18 years after Falcon 1 first reached orbit, Starship closed a magnificent circle by achieving orbit and deploying satellites successfully. Future is here‼️ 🇮🇱 ❤️ 🇺🇸

🚀 For 13 flights, Starship was intentionally kept on a suborbital path. Flight 14 changed that. On September 28, Ship 41 reached orbit for the first time, despite an early Raptor engine shutdown. SpaceX then used another engine burn to complete orbital insertion. At roughly 275 km above Earth, Starship deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites—its first operational payload in orbit. The flight ended early, but the milestone was enormous. Starship didn’t just reach space. It finally entered the orbital era. 🌍🔥

SPACE X CAPTURES A HUGE UFO SPACE X STARSHIP SEPTEMBER 28, 2026 Near Earth Orbit On its fourteenth test flight from Starbase in Texas, the rocket reached Earth orbit for the first time ever, even after one upper-stage engine shut down during ascent. It deployed twenty-six new Starlink V3 satellites, then controllers cut the mission short from a planned ten hours down to about three because of the engine issue, and the ship splashed down in the Pacific north of Hawaii. Then… they witnessed a massive UFO whike maneuvering the craft into position. This is what the Captured…

SpaceX was one launch away from dying. Three Falcon 1 launches had already failed. Money was running out. Another failure could have been the end of the company. Then Falcon 1 Flight 4 lifted off from a tiny island in the Pacific and became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to reach Earth orbit. That single launch changed everything. Rest is history.

Elon Musk: Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1 but has 400 times the payload. “One of the most profound things is that Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1. That's the difference between a fully reusable rocket or an expendable rocket. The fully reusable rocket with low-cost propellant and autogenous pressurization actually costs less than a tiny expendable rocket. Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit. The Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1. Ultimately, I think we might be able to get the cost per flight to Earth orbit down to around $2 or $3 million. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible but we're not breaking any physics to achieve this.” SpaceX Update, April 4, 2024

SpaceX’s Starship rocket erupted into flames after splashing down in the Pacific Ocean, prematurely ending its first successful flight into orbit. The rocket launched earlier in the day and reached orbit, but SpaceX said the planned 10-hour mission was cut short for safety reasons. Watch OAN on OAN Live for more updates.

10 years ago today, on December 21, 2015, SpaceX achieved a groundbreaking milestone in spaceflight history. The company successfully performed the first-ever orbital rocket landing of its Falcon 9 first stage. This marked the first time a rocket stage was successfully returned to Earth and landed vertically after launching a payload into orbit. Now, in 2025, SpaceX is catching rockets in mid-air with giant tower arms.
