A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 23 Starlink internet satellites lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth as planned, acing its vertical landing about 8.5 minutes after liftoff on the SpaceX drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
