SpaceX launches 22 Starlink satellites despite iffy weather.

SpaceX is set to launch 22 next-generation Starlink broadband satellites to orbit on Friday at 12:41 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The Falcon 9 rocket will carry the satellites to low Earth orbit, while the first stage will return to Earth and touch down on the SpaceX droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas. The satellites are larger and more capable than the first-generation Starlink craft, and the launch will be the 30th Falcon 9 flight of the year and the 32nd orbital mission overall for SpaceX in 2021.
