SpaceX sent another batch of Starlink satellites into space Tuesday night, on the heels of the company’s Sentinel-6 ocean-mapping satellite launch from California and Crew-1 astronaut mission from Florida.

The company’s Falcon 9 rocket lifted off on time at 9:13 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s launch complex 40, its fiery tail visible across parts of Central Florida on a cool, clear evening.

Then, about eight minutes after launch, SpaceX also recovered the rocket’s booster, marking its seventh flight to date and making it the company’s most re-flown booster.

It’s the latest Starlink launch since the program began last May as part of SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s vision to create a constellation of satellites that will be able to deliver fast, affordable internet to even remote parts of the planet. The 60 Starlink satellites deployed Tuesday will bring the total number in orbit to about 960.

They're building a "net" of free, GLOBAL total access to wifi internet access. Once it's operational, they can control the content.

Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

The FAA would be a good start.

I am so heartsick at the treatment President Trump continues to receive.

He created Space Force and is in the process of fulfilling a rural American's dream ... internet access even in the bowels of the hills of Pa, WV, Ky., and etc.

When I think of communication, I think of computer and telephone, and President Trump IS the Peoples' President.

MAYBE all those comsats have another main purpose, MAYBE they spy on us (I don't believe it), but consider the gazillions of people in America that cannot be here right now in their undies or less, drinkin' coffee with NewsMax on in the background talkin' to people from all over the globe.

Obama promised internet access for rural America, but Trump is getting it done.

“Once it’s operational, they can control the content.”

...and track you via the COVID vaccination implant.

Or...maybe just your cellphone. Heck, they know I’m sitting on the commode RIGHT NOW just tapping away.
