SpaceX Rocket Lights Up SoCal Sky in Spectacular Launch

A SpaceX rocket is set to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, carrying 15 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit. The launch is scheduled for 8:57 p.m., about an hour after sunset, providing potentially good viewing conditions for Southern Californians. The first-stage booster will attempt to land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean, marking its fifth flight. The Starlink network aims to provide high-speed internet globally, and the satellites can be visible in the night sky under certain lighting conditions.
