(Image credit: SpaceX) SpaceX is set to launch another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast on Saturday (Feb. 8). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink spacecraft, including 13 with direct-to-cell capability, is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Saturday, during a nearly four-hour window that opens at 1:23 p.m. EST (1823 GMT). SpaceX will stream the action live via its X account beginning about five minutes before launch. The Falcon 9's first stage will return to Earth about eight minutes after liftoff, if all goes according to plan. It will touch down in the Atlantic Ocean on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas."
