SPACEX JUST PUT STARSHIP INTO LOW EARTH ORBIT FROM TEXAS FOR THE FIRST TIME. One engine failed and cut the flight short, but that bird still deployed 26 satellites and made history anyway. Butch Wilmore said it plain: no low Earth orbit means no lunar lander path to the... show more

Sabotaging the country just to cling to power.

Reaching low Earth orbit and deploying satellites from Texas shows how daring engineering keeps America miles ahead in the new space race.

Watched it live. They recovered the engine from ground control or they would’ve scrubbed the orbit.

What an incredible milestone. 🚀 Seeing how far SpaceX has come is honestly inspiring. Keep pushing, keep building, and keep aiming higher. The Moon first. Then Mars. 🌕🚀

It's what the Future looks like. Between Vandenburg, Florida, Texas and soon Louisiana Elon is sending life and the future into Space.

Getting 26 satellites deployed despite the engine issue is still a meaningful operational milestone. You and @Kamoflawless are two accounts I follow because both of you help me see the bigger picture behind stories like this.

@elonmusk put a spare engine on booster and ship in the case an engine fails

Let's go!!

Real pioneers push boundaries while the bureaucrats are still stuck in committee meetings.

Next time it’s going higher and higher! 🧔🏻♀️

Chosin Texas was smart ❤️

🚀 From Texas to orbit and this is what pushing the boundaries of aerospace looks like. The Moon is the milestone, Mars is the mission. 🇺🇸🔥

hahahahaha “boots on the moon” how ridiculous does that sound? Didn’t someone get there in 1969? It’s hardly a brave new frontier is it

A major milestone for American spaceflight. Starship reaching orbit and deploying satellites shows how quickly reusable launch technology is advancing.

To be accurate one engine fail didn't cut the flight short, they don't use full thrust for all engines, so when 1 engine is out, tune up other engines, no big deal. But still, a little shy from perfection.

How low?

LFG!

They’re called satelloons.

26 satellites deployed and another huge step toward the Moon. 🚀🌕🇺🇸

It's not just a game to be won for him. It's about getting us to the next level of human's advancement to where we live on multiple planets

How is it people apparently landed on the moon years ago but people aren't able to anymore.?

26 satellites deployed and another huge step toward the Moon. 🚀🌕🇺🇸

We have boots on the moon now.. but let’s Gooooo!
