SpaceX's Midnight Marvel: 24 Starlink Satellites Launched into Orbit from Florida

Sea cucumbers can actually breathe through their butts. Yep, that’s a thing!

SpaceX launched 24 more of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast early Saturday morning (Nov. 30).

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 24 Starlink spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Saturday at midnight EST (0500 GMT).

The Falcon 9's first stage returned to Earth about eight minutes after liftoff as planned, touching down on the SpaceX droneship "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean.

It was the sixth launch and landing for this particular booster, according to a SpaceX mission description. Three of those flights have been Starlink missions.

The Falcon 9's upper stage continued carrying the 24 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit, deploying them there about 65 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX reported via X.

The Starlink launch will be the first leg of a Saturday morning rocket doubleheader for SpaceX, if all goes to plan.
