There used to be a debate about whether SpaceX would dominate the space industry. In 2026, that debate is over. SpaceX has already won. No other company comes close to their level of success.
Many people think this dominance comes from Starship or the success of Falcon 9. But the real reason is different.
SpaceX doesn’t rely only on launching rockets for other companies. They launch their own satellites. In fact, most of the Falcon 9 launches we see every week are not customer missions. They are Starlink launches.
That’s something no other launch company does and SpaceX is its own biggest customer.
And just recently, SpaceX received news it had been waiting for long time regarding Starlink.
That’s what we’re going to look at in this video.
