we will have officially entered the golden era of space exploration once the first rocket launch to not be reported on by the media happens.
Elon often talks about wanting to make starship launch in a similar frequency to a passenger plane, and a passenger plane flight rarely receives news coverage unless it's Air Force one, or Elon's plane
I imagine the first unreported rocket launch will be well into Spacex's Mars program, dozens of crew missions already, and hundreds of cargo flights. Most likely a tanker flight to a cargo ship carrying uninteresting cargo like solar panels or crew rations. With multiple tanker flights every day in the period leading up to the hohmann transfer window to Mars, the half dozen sites or space youtubers still bothering to pump out weekly launch updates by coincidence miss this one, after all they've been covering this kind of cadence by SpaceX for years now, so it was bound to happen, maybe something more interesting distracted that week like SLS's first manned flight or something
