TL;DR Summary

SpaceX successfully launched another batch of Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, marking its second launch in less than 40 hours. Overcoming weather hurdles, the Falcon 9 rocket took off after a delay from Friday night. The first-stage booster, making its sixth flight, is expected to land on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic Ocean. The launch also coincided with the rollout of a Falcon Heavy rocket for a static fire test in preparation for the USSF-52 mission, which will be the first time the Falcon Heavy is used to launch the U.S. military's X-37B spaceplane.
