SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, despite challenging weather conditions, marking the company's 70th orbital flight of 2023 and the 44th Starlink delivery mission of the year. The rocket carried 22 second-generation Starlink satellites, known as the V2 Mini, which offer four times the capacity of previous models. The first stage booster, on its eighth flight, successfully landed on the drone ship Just Read the Instructions. SpaceX now has over two million Starlink subscribers in more than 60 countries.
