SpaceX is targeting Sunday, December 8 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 12:10 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 4:10 a.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available that same day, starting at 11:42 p.m. ET.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the second flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched GOES-U. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX converted one of GOES-U's side-boosters, but which one, who knows?Are there any distinguishing characteristics of one vs the other? I imagine the soot coverage and density is roughly the same? We may not know until launch day.I'm glad to see one of the two entering the Florida Falcon 9 rotation.
