Second stage achieves desired orbit.  Funky SpaceX music 🎶 during ballistic coast to satellites' deploy.

A note to those who complain that SpaceX gets many more comments on a launch than other providers.  Here is the entire commentary on the launch on this forum:

Liftoff!!!
Staging!
Stage 1 reentry burn.
Stage 1 has landed!
Second stage achieves desired orbit.
Starlink deploy!

A grand total of 116 characters - less than one tweet's worth.   These launches are really becoming routine....

What isn't routine is the view this morning of a rocket launching from Carnival Mardis Gras docked at the port. Kind of a crappy photo since it's a screen grab from my video. Beautiful morning for a launch and lots of people on the beach watching. This is taken from N 3rd Street Cocoa Beach.

The building on the right is the Solid Motor Assembly Building, the other one on the left is the Vertical Integration Building.
