<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk">Elon Musk</a>&#8216;s SpaceX Falcon 9 launched 46 Starlink satellites into space on Sunday.</p>
<p>The successful launch was streamed live from California&#8217;s Vandenberg Space Force Base, with the Falcon 9 landing on a ship at sea.</p>

<p>The launch marked the 50th dedicated mission for the Starlink internet project. Starlink&#8217;s new satellites began deploying approximately one hour after liftoff.</p>
<p>The Falcon 9 broke through the marine cloud layer and sound barrier in approximately one minute, the live video of the launch revealed. Following the end of the first stage, the rocket&#8217;s nine Merlin engines separated with the upper stage continuing into orbit.</p>
<p>The booster descended back to Earth where it made its landing on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean. The particular booster used in the launch, the B1063, marked its sixth flight as part of the SpaceX reusable rocket fleet.</p>

<p>The Falcon 9 is the world&#8217;s first orbital-class rocket capable of reflight. First launched in 2012, the Falcon 9 has made more than 120 landings and can transport satellites and humans. In April, the Falcon 9 <a href="https://spacenews.com/falcon-9-launches-crew-4-mission-to-space-station/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transported</a> American and European astronauts to the International Space Station.</p>
<p>The satellites join approximately 2,500 Starlink devices already in space. SpaceX has approval from the Federal Communications Commission to launch around 12,000 satellites. A future launcher from the company, called Starship, is expected to transport hundreds of satellites in a single launch.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-sl3-1-launch-rocket-landing">Space.com</a>, SpaceX has also applied internationally for permission to launch an additional 30,000 satellites.</p>

<p>&mdash; SpaceX (@SpaceX) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1546308483372294144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 11, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The vast number of satellites has led to concerns about considering a new approach to space sustainability and safety. Starlink describes itself on its <a href="https://www.starlink.com/">website</a> as &#8220;meeting or exceeding all regulatory and industry standards.&#8221;</p>
<p>Satellites are designed to &#8220;utilize their on-board propulsion system to deorbit over the course of a few months,&#8221; according to its website. In addition, any inoperable satellites will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere within one to five years.</p>
<p>Starlink satellites are designed to provide high-speed internet to remote and rural locations worldwide. The service has also found interest among airlines looking for improved in-flight internet services.</p>
<p>In April, Musk signed a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musks-spacex-signs-first-deal-with-major-u-s-airline-to-provide-free-wi-fi-for-passengers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deal</a> with Hawaiian Airlines to provide internet services using Starlink. The agreement made the transportation company the first U.S. airline to sign up for the service.</p>
<p>Jonathan Hofeller, vice president of Starlink commercial sales at SpaceX, said in a statement that Hawaiian Airlines “was ensuring its passengers will experience high-speed internet the way we expect it in the 21st century, making hassles like downloading movies before takeoff a relic of the past.”</p>
<p>Musk also made headlines in February when he provided Starlink satellite broadband service to Ukraine to offer access to the internet as Russian military forces invaded the country.</p>
<p>Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-praised-for-coming-to-ukraines-rescue-pushes-a-button-and-changes-the-course-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provided</a> the internet services after seeing a tweet from Mykhailo Fedorov, the vice prime minister of Ukraine, who wrote: “@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.”</p>
