SpaceX T- Two Hours
- Thread starter rockytopva
- Start date
If all goes according to plan, the Falcon 9's first stage will come back to Earth about 8.5 minutes after it liftoff, touching down on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
It will be the 21st launch and landing for this particular booster, according to a SpaceX mission description. That will set a new record, which may well be tied multiple times in the near future; two other Falcon 9 first stages also have 20 flights under their belts.
The Falcon 9's upper stage, meanwhile, will continue carrying the 23 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit tonight, deploying them there about 65 minutes after liftoff. - SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launching Starlink satellites on record 21st flight tonight

I would say that Elon Musks Starlink plans are ambitious and will generate much cash for his programs...It is great that this rocket is highly reusable.Video sadly has not started for anyone yet though.
Screenshot, and the timer for the stream says 18 min 25 seconds until stream start.

Alright, for those who are new to space, the Karman line is the altitude where space officially begins, at an altitude of 62 miles (100 km).

The Kármán Line: Where does space begin?
Pinning down exactly where outer space starts isn't as easy as you might think.

Both Starlink and the Falcon 9 will generate a lot of cash, the latter hopefully making space more accessible to other companies who want to launch their own satellites for cheap, while the former bringing signals to remote areas.I would say that Elon Musks Starlink plans are ambitious and will generate much cash for his programs...

By the way, the host looks like a slightly older version of myself, both brown, just like I am. Space is for everyone, my friends.

So, this booster has been flying since November 2020. There is a mild typo on one of the dates, as mentioned by the video's host.
