Posting on X (formerly Twitter), his son A. Pettit called it a “contender for one of the coolest videos from space”, and wrote: “Nothing visualizes how omnipresently SURROUNDED by satellites we are better than this video.”<\/p>\n

He added: “And this is only the ones that are visible in a tiny fraction of the Earth\u2019s limb.”<\/p>\n

Starlink<\/a> is the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, video calls and more.<\/p>\n

As of early October 2025, there are nearly 10,000 Starlink satellites<\/a> launched into orbit, with SpaceX continuing to deploy them at a rapid pace, maintaining the world’s largest satellite internet constellation in low Earth orbit.<\/p>\n

Don Pettit returned to Earth on April 19 after spending 220 days aboard the Space Station.<\/p>\n
