Another happy landing. B1069's fifth.

Something very complicated is being made to appear routine.

SpaceX launches Starlink 5-3!

Just another day (or night, or morning…?) here on the Space Coast. I got to meet a group comprised of folks who had seen many launches, and some who had never seen any. I love that!

"Nominal orbit insertion and SECO 2."

Seems like a second burn was performed to raise the orbit, but this wasn't listed on the SpaceX online press kit.

Anyway, congratulations to SpaceX and Starlink for another successful launch!

They’re launching so often it’s hard to keep track! Thanks as always for the wonderful overnight coverage for those of us on the other side of the planet, Steven!

A timelapsed streak of Starlink 5-3 launching from Pad 39A early this morning, completing the 8th overall mission for SpaceX this year. You can clearly see the rocket begin to pitch downrange right as it rises above the launch pad as well

Nearly 70 percent of all Falcon 9 missions have been completed by flight-proven boosters — rocket reusability is key to enabling SpaceX’s rapid launch cadence
