SpaceX launches 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit, nails landing

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 23 Starlink satellites from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 8, 2024 at 2:42 p.m. EDT (1842 GMT).
According to Space.com, the Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth as planned about 8.5 minutes later, touching down on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

What an accomplishment. Again and again.

Saving a lift off down to earth still excites me 😊

[@mauricegold9377]

@@user-ui8qq7bc7h Nonsense. There are some delays in the feeds from the various cameras. Nothing to get excited about.

[@scottymoondogjakubin4766]

Amazing how much better the video of the booster landing is ! Great job !

[@JohnnyC10071959]

Little bit different than the Boeing launch I thought I was going to watch. Go SpaceX you are our only one.

[@MyMeade12]

It simply just doesn't get old !

[@dgb5820]

This should never be defined as normal. Every launch and relaunch should always be defined as absolutely incredible to all the rocket scientist given the opportunity by E.M. That 120 launches more than NASA……

And NASA is missing away money on Boeing and rockets that fly once and fall in the ocean...good grief...🖖

[@wally7856]

When is the last time one of them actually flew?

[@setdown2]

@wally7856 they flew a craft around the moon not to long ago... Boeing had nothing to do with it...not 100% on that but...first stage with all the rocket engines just drop in the ocean...Space X is so far ahead of them it's crazy...and when he gets his star ship going ( which isn't too far off ) he'll own space travel...his new capsule will hold 100 people...🖖

see how hazy/smoky is the atmosphere, even up to quite high altitudes, thats very sad to see the atmosphere is so poluted, what would appear a sunny day on the ground is in reality very polluted atmosphere, seems we are not learning much in respect to looking after earth, these rockets aren't helping, this haze is worldwide and reaches the most remote areas, very sad

Why is USA just doing the same thing over and over ...while China lands on the far side of the Moon?

[@xandervk2371]

So what? Luna 3 landed on the far side of the Moon and sent pictures almost 65 years ago.

[@TheAzmountaineer]

Why would they copy China? But all countries have their own agenda.

[@mauricegold9377]

You fail to understand. It will be necessary to have thousands of Starlink satellites in orbit so people in remote regions with no internet can get online. This will be wonderful for remote Indonesian islands, for people at sea, in the air, at the poles, eventually anywhere on Earth. I am not decrying China's ground-breaking achievements in space. I am a big fan of their drive, enthusiasm and technological sophistication, and think it shameful that China has been ostracised by the US in space.

[@954brent954]

​​@@xandervk2371Luna 3 did not land, it only flew around the moon and took pictures that was grainy. Also he speaking about the usa and luna 3 is a russian mission. So why even mention it?
