SpaceX launched another set of Starlink satellites Thursday evening. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 9:14 pm EDT (01104 GMT Friday) and placed 53 satellites into low Earth orbit. The Falcon 9 booster, on its eighth mission, landed on a droneship in the Pacific. The twilight launch and the rocket's trajectory allowed it to be seen as far east as El Paso, Texas.
