SpaceX launches more Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit
June 3 (UPI) -- SpaceX early Tuesday launched a Falcon 9 rocket loaded with a batch of Starlink satellites into space from the East Coast.
The rocket launched at 12:43 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The mission was to put a batch of 23 Starlink satellites, 13 of which have direct-to-cell capabilities, into low-Earth orbit, where they will join the ever-growing constellation of thousands of orbitals that together offer high-speed, low-latency Internet across the globe.
The first-stage booster, on its 21st flight, safely returned to Earth and landed upon the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which was awaiting it in the Atlantic Ocean.

Musk criticism of Trump bill sparked by EV tax credit, Starlink
(NewsNation) — Billionaire Elon Musk attacked President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' for reasons including the elimination of the electric vehicle tax cut and circumstances around his departure from Washington, D.C., a source familiar with the matter confirmed to NewsNation. Musk had developed a close relationship with the president, contributing substantially to his election campaign and serving as a close adviser to Trump, often appearing alongside the president at critical meetings and in the Oval Office. Musk's Department of Government Efficiency was also given broad authority to make cuts to federal agencies and programs, with the stated goal of weeding out fraud and abuse. Trump admin pushes for final trade offers as tariff pause nears end Recently, Musk took to X to blast the signature legislation, which he called a 'disgusting abomination.' The root of Musk's displeasure appears to be rooted in the lack of special treatment he received in the plan, with four major issues prompting his ire. Musk had advocated for the administration to retain an electric vehicle tax credit intended to encourage the adoption of more environmentally friendly vehicles. Tesla, owned by Musk, has suffered financially since Musk became heavily involved in politics, with Musk facing pressure to turn things around for the company. While Musk received a friendly send-off from Trump at the end of his 130-day limit as a 'special government employee,' a designation that allowed the administration to side-step Senate confirmation required for high-level roles, Musk wanted to continue. However, he was informed by White House officials that he was unable to stay.

The administration declined because it would appear to be a conflict of interest. Trump also withdrew the nomination of Jared Isaacman for NASA administrator Saturday. Isaacman, a Musk ally, would have led an agency that has substantial contracts with Musk's businesses. Musk and Trump reportedly maintain a friendly relationship, though the president is said to be irritated by Musk's public criticism. Musk's spokesperson didn't comment when asked by NewsNation about his criticism of the bill. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

NASA Sets Coverage for Axiom Mission 4 Launch, Arrival at Station
WASHINGTON, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX are targeting 8:22 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, June 10, for launch of the fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, Axiom Mission 4. The mission will lift off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew will travel to the orbiting laboratory on a new SpaceX Dragon spacecraft after launching on the company's Falcon 9 rocket. The targeted docking time is approximately 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 11. NASA will stream live coverage of launch and arrival activities on NASA+. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media. NASA's mission responsibility is for integrated operations, which begins during the spacecraft's approach to the space station, continues during the crew's approximately two-week stay aboard the orbiting laboratory while conducting science, education, and commercial activities, and concludes once the spacecraft exits the station. Peggy Whitson, former NASA astronaut and director of human spaceflight at Axiom Space, will command the commercial mission, while ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will serve as pilot. The two mission specialists are ESA (European Space Agency) project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary. As part of a collaboration between NASA and ISRO, Axiom Mission 4 delivers on a commitment highlighted by President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to send the first ISRO astronaut to the station. The space agencies are participating in five joint science investigations and two in-orbit science, technology, engineering, and mathematics demonstrations. NASA and ISRO have a long-standing relationship built on a shared vision to advance scientific knowledge and expand space collaboration. The private mission also carries the first astronauts from Poland and Hungary to stay aboard the space station. NASA will join the mission prelaunch teleconference hosted by Axiom Space (no earlier than one hour after completion of the Launch Readiness Review) at 6 p.m., Monday, June 9, with the following participants: Dana Weigel, manager, International Space Station Program, NASA Allen Flynt, chief of mission services, Axiom Space William Gerstenmaier, vice president, Build and Flight Reliability, SpaceX Arlena Moses, launch weather officer, 45th Weather Squadron, U.S. Space Force To join the teleconference, media must register with Axiom Space by 12 p.m., Sunday, June 8, at: NASA's mission coverage is as follows (all times Eastern and subject to change based on real-time operations): Tuesday, June 106:15 a.m. – Axiom Space and SpaceX launch coverage begins. 7:25 a.m. – NASA joins the launch coverage on NASA+. 8:22 a.m. – Launch NASA will end coverage following orbital insertion, which is approximately 15 minutes after launch. As it is a commercial launch, NASA will not provide a clean launch feed on its channels.

Want Starlink? Get Ready to Pay a Lot More If You Live in These 2 States
Thinking about subscribing to SpaceX's satellite internet service provider, Starlink? Be warned: The company appears to have quietly jacked up a demand-based fee in certain states. Redditors first began noticing the change this week while trying to get Starlink service in the Pacific Northwest, PCMag reported, finding that the "demand fee" at checkout was $500. The outlet noted that this fee was previously set at $250 in April for areas where the service was nearing a preset customer limit. That $250 fee was itself increased from $100, back when it was known as the "congestion fee." That's all on top of the $350 price tag for the Starlink dish on its own. A representative for Starlink did not immediately respond to a request for comment. According to Starlink, the demand fee is charged in areas where its service is in high demand, and will be refunded if service is canceled within 30 days. Locating local internet providers "In areas with high demand, there is an additional one-time charge to purchase Starlink services," the company site says. "The additional charge depends on the location of your service address, the service plan you choose, and/or the Starlink kit you select. This charge will only apply if you are purchasing or activating a new service plan. If you change your service address or service plan at a later date, you may be charged the demand surcharge." For now, it appears that the increase is active only in Oregon and Washington, particularly around the Portland and Seattle metropolitan areas. And for some customers, they may have no choice but to pay it. "My house just happens to be on a road where the two options are either DSL or another company who refuses to extend their service to my address, even though they service the house across my street," one Reddit user wrote in a post. "What gives? $500 is INSANE! Seems like a ridiculous charge to take advantage of those who don't have other options." Starlink first launched in 2019 and provides internet service to customers via 7,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Elon Musk's SpaceX.
