With this launch, SpaceX has broken its record for shortest time between two launches at 1 hour and 51 minutes between these two missions (previous record was 2 hours, 54 minutes, and 40 seconds). Not the only record broken today though...

Quote
SpaceX also broke its record for shortest time across three launches as well at 20 hours, 2 minutes, and 22 seconds from Crew-8 to Starlink Group 6-41 (previous record was 23 hours, 4 minutes, and 30 seconds from USSF-124 to Starlink Group 7-14).

Quote
The company also completed yesterday the WDR for Starship's third flight and the Crew Dragon Endeavour for Crew-8 is on its way to dock to the ISS in about 7.5 hours from now. Quite an active few hours.

Deployment of @Starlink satellites confirmed. This mission brings us above 10,000 operational space lasers for the constellation, which enable satellites to provide truly global coverage and serve those in the most remote locations on Earth
