A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch 22 second-generation Starlink internet satellites at 11:38 p.m. EDT (0338 UTC) tonight, from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The first-stage booster is making a record-breaking 17th flight and will land on the drone ship 'A Short Fall of Gravitas' in the Atlantic Ocean.

Our live coverage from Cape Canaveral, with commentary by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, will begin about an hour before launch.

Most illegals can’t be trusted to sweep the floor much less than be part of a team that works for SpaceX!!
Just sayin’ we will be dealing with these folks for a long time.

Thank you, Joe Briben, for nothing!

The DOJ needs a strong douche. A chemical douche that kills the riff-raff on their payroll.

Just beautiful!
I wish Dad could have lived long enough to see Elon’s rockets. He worked with NASA on all the space programs from Mercury through the Shuttle. He would love Elon’s rockets, especially watching the boosters coming back to land on the pads.
