(Image credit: SpaceX via X) SpaceX will launch another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from California's central coast tonight (Nov. 13). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 20 Starlink spacecraft, including 13 with direct-to-cell capability, is scheduled to lift off from Vandenberg Space Force Base tonight at 11:21 p.m. EST (8:21 p.m. local California time; 0321 GMT on Nov. 14). SpaceX will webcast the action live via X, beginning about five minutes before launch. If all goes according to plan, the Falcon 9's first stage will return to Earth for a vertical touchdown about eight minutes after liftoff. It will land on the SpaceX droneship "Of Course I Still Love You," which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean. You may like
