TL;DR Summary

SpaceX is set to launch its Falcon 9 booster for a record 20th time on Friday, deploying 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The live webcast will showcase the rocket's ascent, stage separation, and satellite deployment, as well as the first-stage booster landing on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. The booster, which last flew on March 16, has previously launched various missions and holds the record for the fastest turnaround at 21 days. SpaceX's reuse of boosters and other components has significantly reduced the cost of spaceflight and increased access to space.
