Can we take a second to appreciate the absolute logistical insanity of SpaceX right now? Launching two Falcon 9 rockets loaded with Starlink satellites in just two days from opposite sides of the country is wild. One went up from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on March 13, and the very next day, another one blasted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
Love them or hate them, the sheer pace of these orbital missions is completely rewriting the rules of spaceflight. Are we getting too comfortable with how routine this has become? At this rate, rocket launches are going to be as common as commercial airline flights.
While the engineering is stunning, I still worry about low Earth orbit getting way too crowded with all these mega-constellations.
