Starlink is SpaceX's satellite internet constellation. It is the payload on most Falcon 9 launches, which is why those flights come in such steady batches.

Military launch contracts are the steadiest money in the business, awarded in blocks years ahead, and they are a large part of what funds development work like Starship.

Falcon 9 is the workhorse: a partly reusable two-stage rocket that flies most weeks from Florida and California, and the vehicle Starship is eventually meant to replace.

Vandenberg is the California launch site SpaceX uses for polar and sun-synchronous orbits, the trajectories Florida cannot reach safely.

Anything beyond Earth orbit is where Starship is actually aimed: the point of a fully reusable heavy-lift vehicle is cargo to the Moon and eventually Mars.

Crew and cargo runs to the International Space Station are the flights with people or perishable science aboard, which is why their schedules slip far less than test flights do.

Financial coverage of SpaceX matters here for one reason: launch and Starlink revenue is what pays for the Starship program being tested at Starbase.

SpaceX flies from two Florida pads, SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral and LC-39A at Kennedy. Neither is Starbase, though a Starship pad at 39A is in work.

Surviving reentry is the hard part of reusing the upper stage: it comes back through plasma hot enough to strip the ceramic tiles that protect the hull.

Dragon is the capsule that carries cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station, currently the only US vehicle flying crew there.
