SpaceX successfully completed a historic Falcon 9 launch. It was supposed to take place the day before, but plans had to be changed due to adverse weather conditions.

The rocket with 46 Starlink satellites was launched from the spaceport at Cape Canaveral at 16:44. Ten minutes later, the first stage returned and landed on the autonomous ship Shortfall of Gravitas located in the Analytical Ocean.
