• By Staff Writer

Elon Musk-led SpaceX launched 22 second-generation Starlink broadband satellites to low-Earth orbit on Friday. A video of the mission showed SpaceX's 230-foot Falcon 9 rocket topped with 22 'V2 minis' lifting off from Florida, and its first stage returning to Earth 8.5 minutes later. It landed on the SpaceX droneship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
