As the West Coast slept, the SpaceX rocket Falcon 9 launched 47 Starlink internet satellites into orbit early Thursday, June 22, and then the Falcon 9 rocket returned to Earth, landing on a ship offshore.
Liftoff from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base was Thursday at 3:19 a.m. An incredible 4,600 Starlink satellites have been hurled into orbit, leading to nicknames and monikers such as “the broadband megaconstellation.”
