satellites. EDT (0628 GMT) on May 9, the company's second Starlink launch in a little over six hours. The most recent launch had been the preceding evening from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base.

And the speed of these launches, the frequency of them, demonstrates how much SpaceX has become the king of commercial spaceflight. Typically launching multiple times within 24-hour periods, the company points to the complexity of its launch capability and operating rhythm. The May 10 flight was more proof of concept of SpaceX's now well-established reliance on reusable Falcon 9 capability and pinpoint orbital delivery.

Some analysts note that the continued development of Starlink could have broader implications for traffic management and space debris regulation in orbit, as well as for world internet coverage. Regulators and space agencies are monitoring the expanded network's environmental and operational impacts in low Earth orbit.
