SpaceX is poised on the edge of another major milestone as it prepares for the eleventh Starship flight, expected to take place as soon as October 13, 2025. SpaceX confirmed the launch window in a recent social media post, marking the final outing of the current generation of Starship vehicles and Pad 1 at Starbase. Ship 38 has concluded its pre-flight testing, joining Booster 15, which has been rolled out to the Rocket Garden, ready and waiting for this historic mission. As highlighted in a recent Starbase Update by NSF, while all eyes shift to this upcoming launch, Pad 2 is also undergoing critical construction and deluge system trials, signaling the imminent transition to the next generation of Starship hardware.
In the meantime, SpaceX’s relentless cadence of Falcon 9 launches remains undimmed. On September 28, the Western United States witnessed a spectacular night-time show as a Falcon 9 carrying 28 Starlink satellites left a glowing “jellyfish” trail across the evening sky. Space.com reports the stunning optical effect was visible for hundreds of miles, with social media posts from onlookers in California and Arizona going viral. This brings SpaceX’s Starlink network to more than 8,000 interconnected satellites in orbit, underscoring their growing dominance in global internet access.
Social media chatter and public gossip surrounding SpaceX and CEO Elon Musk remain as lively as ever. One of the most talked-about stories in recent days arose when Sky News named Elon Musk in reporting on the latest Jeffrey Epstein files, despite the records only showing he was invited to the infamous island and never attended. Musk vocally condemned the coverage on X, calling out Sky News for its “utterly misleading headline” and pointing out that he refused Epstein’s invitation, asserting that “anyone pushing this false narrative deserves complete contempt.” Platforms like Teslarati and OpenTools highlighted the backlash Musk directed at the outlet, noting that Sky News even disabled replies to its post amid the controversy. The coverage provided fresh fuel for Musk’s critics but also rallied his supporters, especially after X’s Community Notes corrected the story’s framing.
In the broader culture war, Musk continued to stir conversation by publicly criticizing the Anti-Defamation League for designating Turning Point USA as an extremist group. Musk, leveraging his position as the owner of X, retweeted posts defending Turning Point and labeled the ADL itself a “hate group,” adding to ongoing debates about free speech and political labeling on social media.
