SpaceX Thursday Launch Success

SpaceX successfully launched another Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Thursday morning… despite some weather challenges. The launch occurred at 11:33am following postponed earlier attempts due to poor offshore conditions, including a reported waterspout. The rocket deployed 21 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, with 13 equipped for direct-to-cell communication. In other space related news, more Artemis II hardware arrived at Kennedy Space Center on the Pegasus barge yesterday, as preparations continue for upcoming moon missions. SpaceX has rescheduled its Polaris Dawn launch to early Monday morning, but that launch is dependent upon better weather.
