SpaceX kicked off the weekend with another impressive feat, successfully launching the SXM-10 satellite for SiriusXM into orbit early Saturday morning. As if that wasn’t enough, they also stuck the landing—literally—by bringing their Falcon 9 rocket back to Earth safely on a drone ship at sea. The mission adds another piece to SiriusXM’s growing satellite radio network, ensuring clearer signals and better coverage for listeners. Oh, and they snapped some killer photos of the whole thing.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another routine launch—it’s a reminder of how SpaceX keeps pushing the envelope with reusable rockets, making space missions more sustainable (and cost-effective). For SiriusXM, it means better service for subscribers. For the rest of us? It’s a cool glimpse into the future of space travel, where rockets take off and land like something out of sci-fi.
