Only a handful of days after successfully returning domestic crew launch capabilities to U.S. soil for the first time since July of 2011, SpaceX continued to steam ahead with its 2020 launch campaign lofting another batch of satellites for the company’s Starlink internet constellation. The eighth flight of Starlink satellites launched on a flight-proven Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40 at 9:25 pm Eastern time on Wednesday (01:25 UTC on Thursday).
