TL;DR Summary

SpaceX successfully launched 22 second-generation Starlink satellites, also known as Starlink V2 mini-satellites, into orbit. These satellites are larger and provide much higher capabilities than their predecessors. The Falcon 9 booster completed its fifth flight and set a record for the most mass sent to orbit for a Falcon 9 at 17.6 metric tons. The fairing halves were also on their 8th flight overall. SpaceX plans to launch Falcon 9 from both the East and West coasts hours apart.
