Starlink Outage: Starlink, owned by SpaceX, experienced a brief network outage on Monday, marking its second service interruption in two weeks, with thousands reporting issues on Downdetector.
Previous Outage Details: The earlier outage on July 24 lasted several hours and was attributed to failures in key internal software services, according to SpaceX Vice President Michael Nicolls.
Service Expansion and Competition: SpaceX's Starlink provides internet to over six million users globally and recently launched more satellites to expand its constellation, which is significantly larger than competitors.
Regulatory Challenges: The California Coastal Commission opposed SpaceX's plans to increase launch frequency from Vandenberg Space Force Base, citing concerns about environmental impacts, despite an executive order from President Trump aimed at easing regulations.
