SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral set for Wednesday morning
A SpaceX rocket will take to the Florida sky Wednesday morning.
According to the Space Coast Office of Tourism, the next rocket launch is set for 9:30 a.m. May 28. The Federal Aviation Administration and SpaceX have yet to confirm the mission.
The Space Force 45th Weather Squadron predicts a 80% chance of favorable weather at the 9:30 a.m. start of the launch window, which runs until 1:30 p.m. However, weather conditions are expected to deteriorate to only 40% favorable towards the end of that window.
The mission is referred to as Starlink 10-32, and will be the next batch of SpaceX Starlink internet satellites, which provide internet in some of the most remote places on Earth. After liftoff, the Falcon 9 rocket will travel on a southeast trajectory.
No Space Coast sonic booms will be heard, as eight-and-a-half minutes after liftoff the rocket's first stage will land on a SpaceX drone ship, which will be stationed out on the Atlantic Ocean.
When is the next Florida launch? Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Axiom, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral
The FLORIDA TODAY Space Team will provide live updates beginning 90 minutes prior to liftoff at FloridaToday.com/Space.

Elon Musk Gets Roasted Online After Attempting To Dodge Trump Interview Questions
One of Elon Musk's first televised interviews since leaving the White House got off to a shaky start Sunday when the tech billionaire tried to elude questions about President Donald Trump. 'CBS Sunday Morning' correspondent David Pogue traveled to SpaceX's Brownsville, Texas, headquarters to chat with Musk, who left his controversial role as a special government employee last week. Their chat, however, got awkward from the get-go when Pogue attempted to ask about some of Trump's policies, including tariffs and an attempted crackdown on international students at Harvard University and other top schools. 'You know, tariffs always affect things a little bit,' Musk replied when Pogue asked if the president's erratic trade wars had impacted his businesses. And when the journalist asked for his thoughts on Trump's efforts to ban Harvard from accepting students from outside the U.S., Musk visibly bristled at the inquiry. 'I think we want to stick to, you know, the subject of the day — which is spaceships, as opposed to presidential policy,' the South African native replied. Watch Elon Musk's 'CBS Sunday Morning' interview below. When Pogue suggested he'd been 'told anything's good' with regard to his interview questions, Musk shut him down yet again. 'Well ... no,' he said. Not surprisingly, the interview segment drew heated responses from viewers online. 'Awkward, strange and untrustworthy. He loves the limelight. He has nothing substantive to offer intellectually,' one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another added on TikTok: 'The guy who stuck his nose in our business has limits on his own. Interesting.' Despite Musk's unwillingness to discuss much about the Trump administration with 'CBS Sunday Morning,' he criticized Republicans on X Tuesday, calling their support of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill slashing taxes and Medicaid as 'a disgusting abomination.' 'Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,' he wrote. In a follow-up post, he added, 'It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.' Two Republican senators, Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), have since signaled their agreement.

Why EchoStar Plunged Again Today
Following last week's decline on a missed interest payment, EchoStar missed a second one today. The FCC is currently reviewing whether the company has been adequately utilizing its spectrum. Elon Musk's SpaceX would like to use the spectrum, and is making a case that EchoStar has violated its agreement with the government. 10 stocks we like better than EchoStar › Shares of telecom and satellite TV provider EchoStar (NASDAQ: SATS) plunged another 11.3% on Tuesday. The decline followed a 12.1% decline last Friday, followed by another single-digit decline yesterday. Last week's decline came after the company announced it would not be making another interest payment on its debt, which is secured by a telecommunications spectrum that is currently a point of controversy. Then today, the company announced it would also not make a second interest payment that was due -- but this time, part of the debt in question was unsecured, raising even more questions. No investor likes to hear about missed interest payments, which is likely why the stock fell yet again. On May 9, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) sent a letter to EchoStar saying that some of its spectrum is now under review. EchoStar bought this wireless spectrum years ago, with an agreement that it would use the spectrum to build out a 5G network across the U.S. to add competition in the wireless telecom market. EchoStar thus far hasn't gotten the network up and running in the time it was supposed to, but was granted an extension last year under the prior administration. However, the new FCC director is now saying that extension is being reviewed. Elon Musk's SpaceX also submitted a complaint, as it would like to use the spectrum itself. In the meantime, it appears EchoStar is refusing to pay interest on its secured debt until that review is complete. On Friday, the company said it was skipping a $326 million interest payment. Then Tuesday, the company said it would be skipping another $183 million payment due today. Interestingly, a portion of the interest today was on unsecured notes, which means the interest payments weren't necessarily tied to assets such as the spectrum or physical assets. This means the company isn't just withholding payments tied to the specific spectrum in question, but that it's not making interest payments in general. That's a more worrying sign, which suggests EchoStar's current business model could become stressed if the government decides to seize the spectrum. The company claims it has been building out a 5G network as it tries to grow its Boost Mobile wireless business, since its satellite pay-TV business is in decline. As of now, the company isn't technically in default, as all the notes have a 30-day grace period for EchoStar to actually make the payment. The company appears to think the matter with the FCC will be resolved within that time frame; however, that's also out of the company's control. If the FCC grants an extension, it could lead to upside in the stock, due to a relief rally. Still, given the uncertainty around that decision, as well as EchoStar's declining overall business, this is a situation I'd stay away from until there's more clarity.
