TL;DR Summary

SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink internet satellites into low Earth orbit from Florida, marking the 39th orbital mission of the year for the company. The Falcon 9 rocket's first stage landed on SpaceX's droneship as planned, although the livestream feed cut out shortly after liftoff. This launch was the 12th for this particular booster, bringing it eight missions shy of the company's reuse record. With over 5,700 operational satellites already in orbit, SpaceX has permission to deploy 12,000 Starlink craft and has applied for approval for an additional 30,000.
