A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket boosted 48 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida Thursday evening, making way for yet another rocket to launch from a nearby pad this weekend. The 6:12 p.m. liftoff from Launch Complex 40 marked SpaceX's 32nd Starlink mission so far, meaning the company has launched nearly 2,000 of the flat-packed, internet-beaming satellites to low-Earth orbit. A successful landing on the Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship shortly after liftoff acted as a nightcap. Unlike some recent launches, the nearly 100% "go" status for weather meant visibility was excellent for Thursday's launch. The light from Falcon 9's second stage Merlin vacuum engine could be seen for several minutes after liftoff.
