SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 20 Starlink broadband satellites into orbit from California. The mission included Direct to Cell capabilities for improved connectivity. The first stage booster landed on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You. This launch marked the fifth flight for the booster. The mission in Florida for the satellite company SES was delayed and rescheduled for the next day. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket has been dominating the launch industry, with plans for its next-generation Starship rocket. The Defense Department has selected SpaceX, Blue Origin, and United Launch Alliance for national security space missions. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket has been instrumental in expanding Starlink's constellation, providing internet access to over 75 countries.
