    The only thing more annoying than Musk haters are the Musk jock sniffers.

    SpaceX continues launch streak with another batch of Starlink internet satellites

    https://thehill.com/homenews/space/...nother-batch-of-starlink-internet-satellites/

    excerpt:

    Approximately eight minutes after launching, the Falcon 9’s first stage made its ninth landing as it returned to Earth and touched down on one of SpaceX’s drone ships parked in the Atlantic Ocean.

    While the first stage was headed back to Earth, the rocket’s upper stage continued its mission and deposited 52 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit about 65 minutes after liftoff. Those satellites make up a massive constellation of more than 4,500 satellites circling the globe to provide connectivity below.

    SpaceX has plans to launch thousands more: The company received government approval to launch 12,000 satellites, with the hope to eventually launch 30,000 more.

    Amazon Launches First Satellites in Bid to Challenge SpaceX’s Starlink
    Rocket carrying e-commerce firm’s Project Kuiper prototypes lifts off from Florida

    https://www.wsj.com/tech/amazon-project-kuiper-satellite-launch-a0843bfc?mod=hp_lista_pos1

    excerpt:

    Amazon.com’s first satellites blasted into orbit, moving the e-commerce company closer to a satellite-internet business that could compete with SpaceX and other rivals.

    A rocket carrying two Amazon prototype satellites lifted off Friday afternoon from a Florida launchpad, according to a livestream. The technology giant expects the mission to demonstrate how the satellites perform in space while testing other systems.

    Amazon in 2019 unveiled plans for a satellite network called Project Kuiper and has said it would invest $10 billion to build it up. The company has permission from U.S. regulators to deploy more than 3,200 satellites over time. Like other operators of low-Earth-orbit constellations, as such satellite fleets are called in the industry, Kuiper aims to sell high-speed, low-latency broadband to subscribers.

    Its chief rival is Starlink, as SpaceX calls its satellite-internet service. SpaceX has aggressively manufactured satellites for Starlink and blasted them off using the company’s partially reusable rockets, giving it around 4,800 satellites in orbit so far.

    Last month, Starlink said in a social-media post that it had more than two million active customers and was available in over 60 countries. Starlink generated $1.4 billion in revenue last year, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
