SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from California early Wednesday (October 30).
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 20 Starlink spacecraft, including 13 with direct-to-cell (DTC) transmission capability, lifted off from Vandenberg Space Station at 8:07 a.m. ET (1:07 p.m. GMT; 5:07 a.m. California local time).

The Falcon 9’s first stage arrived on Earth about eight minutes after liftoff, landing on the “Of Course I Still Love You” drone stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
