OW35: Starship has Landed

Starship actually drops “satellites” out of its belly

and the room collectively forgets how to breathe

On August 26, 2025, SpaceX did the one thing that moves satcom spreadsheets from daydream to budget reality. Starship reached space and deployed eight Starlink simulators from that cavernous payload bay. No confetti cannon, no TED Talk, just a choreographed open, release, and “we can do this at scale” signal that landed like a drum hit at a stadium show. Put grand ambitions aside and it still reads like a market reset.
