(Image credit: SpaceX) SpaceX plans to launch another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from California's central coast today (Jan. 24). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink craft is scheduled to lift off from Vandenberg Space Force Base today, during a 3.5-hour window that opens at 9:07 a.m. EST (1407 GMT; 6:07 a.m. local time). SpaceX will stream the action live via its X account, starting about five minutes before launch. If all goes according to plan, the Falcon 9's first stage will return to Earth about eight minutes after liftoff, touching down in the Pacific Ocean on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You."
