This internet system offers businesses and power users two different packages, one catering for residential purposes and the other for roaming. SpaceX says it intends to have more than 40,000 satellites in orbit in the near future. The aerospace company uses the Falcon 9, a reusable, two-stage rocket designed for the safe transport of people and payloads into Earth's orbit and beyond, to liftoff these Starlink satellites into the atmosphere. SpaceX says this will be the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched 15 space flights, including nine Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of The Bahamas. It may be possible that residents of The Bahamas will hear one or more sonic booms during the landing. When is liftoff?
