Let the American broomstick fly: SpaceX director on launch of Starlink satellites

• By Staff Writer

SpaceX's launch director took a dig at Russian space agency's chief Dmitry Rogozin's recent remark during the launch of Starlink satellites. "Time to let the American broomstick fly and hear the sounds of freedom," the director said as the rocket prepared to take off. Rogozin earlier said Americans could "fly on their broomsticks" after Russia stopped selling rocket engines to the US.
