SpaceX launches 47 Starlink satellites from both coasts, including next-gen transmitting data.

TL;DR Summary
SpaceX launched 47 more Starlink internet satellites to orbit from California using a Falcon 9 rocket, while United Launch Alliance's Delta 4 Heavy rocket carried a classified National Reconnaissance Office spy satellite from Florida. The Falcon 9 used a first stage booster making its fourth flight, while the Delta 4 Heavy put on a spectacular pre-dawn show visible for miles around. The Delta's first stage boosters are not reusable and all three simply fell into the ocean after separation.
