Watch live: SpaceX launches 23 Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 23 second-generation Starlink internet satellites. Liftoff from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center is scheduled for 2:42 p.m. EDT (1842 UTC) on Wednesday, May 8. The first-stage booster, making its third flight, will land on the drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' a little more than eight minutes into the flight.
The mission, designated Starlink 6-56, will be the 47th Falcon 9 launch of the year and the 32nd Starlink mission.
Our live coverage with commentary from Will Robinson-Smith will begin about an hour before launch.

Looks like the upper camera is nearing warp speed (warp light streaks) but the bottom side must be holding back.

Impressive safety record for these rockets. Use them over and over again with confidence. Very nice SpaceX! Way to go Elon Musk. It's always amazing to see how finely they control the fire during the final stages of landing. Really impressive.

I think it's time for SpaceX to sponsor some hitech lenses and equipment to P. Carstens for his great job of capturing the launches. Perhaps put him on the payroll too.

Thanks, guys!

Is it possible to have cameras in orbit showing falcon coming from earth? Streaming is always the same, would've been cool seeing it from aliens perspective.

[@alangeddes268]

Is there somewhere that lists upcoming flights ?

[@beverlygiroux2824]

Just tuned in from Maine....
