Liftoff of 23 @Starlink satellites from Florida while Transporter-10's second stage coasts through space ahead of its final payload deploys
Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, completing this booster's thirteenth mission
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...
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).
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.

Liftoff of Falcon 9 and 23 Starlink satellites from Florida at 6:56pm this evening, capping off a <24 hour run for SpaceX of three Falcon launches and a Starship fueling & launch countdown rehearsal
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
