SpaceX’s Spectacular Launch Weekend: 50 Satellites Launched, But Troubles Loom

SpaceX’s Spectacular Launch Weekend: 50 Satellites Launched, But Troubles Loom

SpaceX launched 26 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg on Sept. 27, days after sending up 24 more, with both Falcon 9 boosters landing on a Pacific droneship. The company has completed 123 Falcon 9 launches in 2025, with about 70% for Starlink, now totaling roughly 8,500 satellites in orbit. In August, Starship achieved its first fully successful flight after three failures. NASA’s Artemis III lunar landing remains dependent on Starship, but experts warn of likely delays.

Solar System’s Hidden Edge: NASA’s Bold Quest to Map the Invisible Cosmic Boundary

NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 crossed the heliopause—the boundary of the Sun’s influence—at over 11 billion miles from Earth in 2012 and 2018, entering interstellar space. The heliosphere, created by the solar wind, deflects up to 90% of harmful cosmic radiation. The heliopause sits about 120 AU from the Sun. NASA’s IBEX satellite has mapped features of this boundary since 2009.

  • Palm Oil Stocks Set for Gains Amid El Niño-Driven Price Surge
    June 10, 2026, 10:15 PM EDT. Crude palm oil (CPO) futures on Bursa Malaysia are firm between RM4,400 and RM4,530 in June 2026, with prices expected to rise further amid anticipated El Niño weather conditions starting mid-2026. El Niño typically causes lower palm fruit yields, tightening supply and boosting prices. This price spike threatens to expand profit margins for palm oil producers, as production costs remain mostly fixed. Analysis of six major palm oil companies listed on Bursa Malaysia and SGX highlights SD Guthrie Bhd as the safest, most liquid way to gain exposure. With a market cap over RM40 billion, SD Guthrie benefits directly from every RM100/tonne increase in CPO prices. Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd offers a defensive angle with its downstream manufacturing mitigating raw material cost spikes. Investors should carefully select stocks for leveraged exposure amid volatile weather-driven commodity cycles.
