Heads up space fans, your alarms might go off early on August 14. SpaceX is preparing to launch 28 of its new Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit—aiming for lift-off just before sunrise. That’s a pretty cool way to start the day. (Spaceflight Now)

More Satellites, More Internet Coverage

This latest batch boosts SpaceX’s mega-constellation of broadband satellites. These V2 Minis are more compact and efficient, helping make satellite internet quicker to deploy and more cost-effective. If you’ve got a chunk of rural coverage missing, these little guys might be about to fix that.

Why It Caught My Eye

I love how SpaceX keeps pushing out satellites like clockwork. It’s routine, yet always kind of wild to think we’re building a global network hundreds of miles overhead. As the number grows, so does our chance at smoother, wider web access—even in places it’s never been reliable.
