JRTI departs for Starlink 6-53! - A super rapid turnaround.
Not certain what the record is for the time between delivering a F9 and departing for the next but 8 hrs and 15 mins must be close!

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, April 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 6:17 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 9:25 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Wednesday, April 24 starting at 5:50 p.m. ET.B1078-9
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This is the ninth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER, USSF-124, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Upcoming launches, including one where SpaceX is set to achieve the 300th landing of a Falcon 9 booster.NSF Launch Roundup: SpaceX to land its 300th booster, NASA tests a solar sail, and China launches three more taikonauts (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2024/04/launch-roundup-042224/), April 22, by Martin Smith
