TL;DR Summary

SpaceX treated Brevard locals and spring breakers to a double-header Falcon 9 launch, delivering a communication satellite for Airbus and Starlink satellites. The launches, three hours and 38 minutes apart, took place at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Delta IV Heavy launch was delayed due to a gaseous nitrogen pipeline issue, with the next launch window set for April 8th. Spectators enjoyed the beautiful weather on the Space Coast, witnessing the successful landings of the Falcon 9 boosters. SpaceX's 31st launch and landing of 2024 included the 18th flight for a specific Falcon 9 booster, with another STARLINK group 7 launch from California planned for later that night.
