Y’all, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is like that TikTok dance trend that refuses to die—overplayed, but somehow still slaps. In 2025, it’s still Elon’s ride-or-die rocket, even though we’ve been promised Mars colonies since 2016. Let’s unpack why this grandpa of rockets is still Elon’s flex.
Same Falcon 9, New Year, Who Dis?
“Reusable? More Like Reused”
Falcon 9’s big flex? It’s landed more times than your ex’s toxic texts. In 2025, Booster #B69420 (nice) hit 50 launches—practically a senior citizen in rocket years. Meanwhile, NASA’s still using rockets like they’re disposable razors.
Meme Moment:
- “Distracted Boyfriend”: NASA eyeing Falcon 9 (new boo) while SLS (ex) collects dust in a warehouse.
- “Surprised Pikachu”: “Wait, rockets can land?!”
Elon’s Master Plan: “Mars Who? Let’s Just Chill in Orbit”
“Starship’s Baby Pics vs. Falcon 9’s Retirement Fund”
Elon’s been hyping Starship like it’s the second coming of Jesus, but in 2025, it’s still blowing up more than a middle school science project. So Falcon 9 stays the MVP, hauling Starlink satellites like a cosmic UPS truck.
Twitter Roasts:
- *“Starship in 2025: ‘Maybe next year!’”
- “This is Fine” Dog: Sitting in a Mars colony render while Falcon 9 does all the work.
Falcon 9’s 2025 Glow-Up: Zzz
“New Paint Job, Same Daddy Issues”
SpaceX’s “upgrades” this year? Fancier livestream graphics and a slightly less janky landing leg. But hey, at least they added a cupholder! (JK, Elon hates fun.)
Meme Alert:
- “Drake Hotline Bling”: Drake rejecting “Starship Hype” for “Falcon 9’s Reliability.”
- “SpongeBob Time Card”: “One Decade Later…” (Falcon 9 still here).
Competition? What Competition?
“Blue Origin’s Still in Diapers”
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin tried to drag Falcon 9 with New Glenn, but in 2025, it’s still stuck in “simulation mode.” Meanwhile, ULA’s Vulcan? More like vulcan’t keep up. Falcon 9’s out here winning by just… existing.
Viral TikTok Trend:
- “POV: You’re a Blue Origin engineer watching Falcon 9’s 100th landing.”
Failures? Nah, Just Learning Moments
“Oops, We Almost Lost a Satellite (Again)”
2025’s spiciest Falcon 9 moment? A booster landing so wobbly, it looked like your uncle after Thanksgiving wine. But hey, “rapid unscheduled disassembly” is just SpaceX for “practice makes perfect.”
Meme Moment:
- “Mocking SpongeBob”: “fAlCoN 9 NeVeR fAiLs”
- “Always Has Been” Astronaut Meme: Two engineers pointing—“Always been carried by Falcon 9.”
The Real MVP: Starlink’s Pizza Delivery
“Satellites So Cheap, Elon’s Launching Them Like Confetti”
Falcon 9’s main gig? Flooding orbit with Starlink satellites so you can binge Netflix in the Sahara. In 2025, they’ve got 5,000+ up there—congrats, humanity, we’ve littered space!
Twitter Roasts:
- *“Starlink in 2025: ‘Buffering… on Mars.’”
- “Shut Up and Take My Money”: Astronaut holding cash, staring at a Starlink dish.
Final Verdict: Falcon 9, the Toyota Camry of Rockets
Is Falcon 2025’s coolest rocket? Nope. But it’s the Honda Civic of space—reliable, boring, and somehow outliving us all. Stay salty, haters.
