- Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 23 second-generation satellites for Elon Musk's Starlink internet service. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 8:32 p.m. EDT (0032 UTC) on Friday, May 17. The first-stage booster making a record-breaking 21st flight will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, about eight and a half minutes after leaving the launch pad.
The mission, designated Starlink 6-59, will be the 36th launch of Starlink satellites this year and the 51st flight of a Falcon 9 rocket in 2024. The booster will target a south-easterly trajectory after lifting off from pad 40.
Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, starting approximately an hour prior to liftoff.

Seeing this never gets old. Each launch is so exciting to view, I love the whole program and each launch !!!!
That was an incredible launch both visually and technically.
Gorgeous jellyfish views and a Falcon launching and landing for the 21st time.
Us in The Bahamas saw it we was speechless and amazed when we knew what it was
I'm in Abaco I saw it
Saw it from sandy point
Saw it from Nassau
Is it bright there for you guys?
Didn't know what it was at the time til the next day but it was still amazing from Nassau.
I saw this on On Patrol Live. The hosts including Dan Abrams didn’t know what it was. I was screaming at the television. Lol.
The dual camera views during stage separation were just the cat’s pajamas!!! Best camera coverage ever!! (And I’ve watched a lot of these launches!!) Hats off and kudos to your camera techs!!!👏👏👍👍😎🇺🇸
I have to say.... Your team has developed some amazing capabilities for tracking! Good job!
"And here we go. " I've heard that somewhere before.... 😀
These guys are making it look easy. (This is not easy!) These launches seem almost routine now, but I know that's not really the case at all; this is amazing!
Well said
Buy that booster a beer! It's 21 now.🍻
Love it😂👌
I’m going to Florida in week, that would be so cool to witness one of these night flights!❤
Hi from Jacksonville Fl
Absolutely gorgeous sight in Ft Myers tonite!!!!!
What's the skinny? I love you space crew! Life is much better with you all in it! Reduce, reuse, recycle
I'm so glad to see humanity take to the stars, to one day walk where we once gased from earth,...may we go on to return to the moon and do the other things... not because they are easy, but because they are hard!
As John F Kennedy inspired us to do it long ago... may we walk the moon again
Watching from Tempe, AZ.
Watching from Tempe Arizona
Watched the launch from Port St. Lucie Florida. Perfect night for it
I think that was the best videography that I have seen of a Falcon 9 launch, and great audio capturing the VAB. Except for some undesirable talking over the last part of the rocket sounds, it was a great presentation of the launch.
Was that booster setting wonky, on ASOG?
Awesome visuals at MECO and the jellyfish. Nice work.
Will Robinson! From lost in space? Sorry I couldn’t help it
On launches this time of day or earlier, it would be nice to have one camera trained on the booster and show it and the second stage on split screen and switch to SpaceX after the Entry Burn.
I saw it from Vero Beach, It seemed to be going South with a Slight incline,
Nice show guys
We see all the launches from our backyard here in new Smyrna Beach
All I see is the moon coming up over the White Tanks. Shish!!
Saw the rocket while on the atlantic ocean. Coming back from Bahamas.
I saw it so clearly from my balcony in Miami I didn't even know what it was till today
I have a video from Boca Raton . Very cool!
i literally saw it falling while driving in the highway, thinking it was a comett or a shooting star😭
lmao! just moved to titusville and saw it from me yard :D
@@royalewithcheese9257 unfortunately i only saw it when the smoke cloud trail was dying down, but it was still cool i got a couple good pics!
It was a normal SpaceX launch. What you saw "Falling" was the booster returning to land on the drone ship. :)
We were walking our dogs, me and my gf were in disbelief, never seen anything leave a trail like that
@@cr8zy865 same! man I hope there better than my shaky video due to my dogs and their leashes. Good for you tho! How much per pic 👀 🤓
I saw with my eyes from Boca Raton. Amazing
Absolutely fantastic 🙌🏼
Did something blow up seen crazy lights from Sanford
It was a normal SpaceX launch. :)
I’ll be moving to Miami in July. Does anyone know how to view these launches? Do you pay admission or is it exclusive? I’d love to go to as many as I could!!
I saw it from my home in Miami last night, it was wild
It was just shown on On Patrol Live!
Saw it on Beach St. in Daytona Beach FL
Does anyone know what zips by at 2:00 into flight??
Did anyone else here in Florida see the UFO ? You can also see it on the live feed also at T+3:07-3:16
Just above the rocket and to the right, I seen a little white. Dot on to zoom in looks much clearer. I think that’s what you’re talking about. I did come out of nowhere.
@daveyoung5445 That was the Falcon 9 booster separating and returning to Earth to be used again. Perfectly normal and expected.
Incorrect you missed it . Bottom right of the screen rising to the center of the screen
I have stills also I live 48 miles from the pad . I have watched rockets since Apollo
@jupitermach1831 Incorrect. What you are seeing there is the first stage booster and the payload faring halves returning to earth to be reused. The second stage booster continues on to deliver the payload and then burns up on re-entry.
Falcon 9 boosters are not the same as what was used for Apollo.
What did I see in sky Naples about 45 minutes ago?
it was the rocket, i asked chat gpt wirh pictures ans everything😭 im on the highway rn i saw it
21 and never had a beer, that is remarkable!
What HAPPEND? I saw crazy red and orange lights with a bunch of smoke bigger than usual- then it went down all the way down
It was a normal SpaceX launch. What you saw "Falling" was the booster returning to land on the drone ship. :)
We saw from Naples
Saw this from Fort Lauderdale
So much for Dan Abrams hosting On Patrol Live. He had no clue what the object in the sky above Indian River County, was. He definitely is lost-in-space.
Will how do i not have chat on my feed usually i can chat with everyone
Because the actual live stream has ended. No live stream, no live chat.
no telemetry or call outs from mission control
That is because Spacex controls what is shared. As we are not SpaceX, we are not privy to those feeds.
Where did this launch from? I live in South Florida and I thought it was a UFO until someone called me an idiot and sent me this link.
As it says, it launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
@@KalystiaLee my bad I was watching through my phone some title was cut off
@@thatguitarguyguy no problem at all! I understand that all too well! 😂 Many people just flat out ignore the title and description! 😂
I saw 3 of something following it bright
2 fairings and the booster....
My brother sent me a video from homestead
Making history mankind
Firmament ? Jellyfish?
This flight makes me wonder, WHY IS BOEING so far behind?
Not 100% sure, but my impression is that Boeing was surprised by VTOL rockets catching on. I believe they bid on what became the DC-X project (VTOL from McDonnell Douglas) but their bid was for an HTHL (horizontal takeoff & landing) spaceplane. Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas shortly after the DC-X cancellation so presumably they would have picked up the DC-X team but my impression was that there wasn't a lot of interest in VTOL at Boeing and some of the DC-X team ended up at SpaceX a few years later.
The other big thing AFAICS is that SpaceX self-funded most of its early development, while Boeing focused on government contracts. That allowed SpaceX to start much earlier on its ambitious goals, and while it could not spend enough to work at maximum speed it was at least able to work consistently for a decade or more as funds permitted. NASA's launch programs have been really troubled for the last couple of decades, with what seems like too many cancellations, and after each cancellation the bar was lowered again. The final iteration (SLS) seems bizarre to me, with four expensive re-usable SSME engines being tossed into the ocean after each launch.
One last thing - I'm not sure how big a factor this is but Boeing and/or the US government/NASA seems to have been pretty committed to staying with LH2 as the first-stage fuel. I believe it does give the highest performance but it also makes engine and rocket design more complicated because of LH2's extremely low temperature. That in turn meant either significant R&D costs for a new first stage engine or staying with the SSME and its associated costs. Both Energomash (Russia) and SpaceX used less efficient fuels but were able to produce less expensive engines with less R&D as a consequence.
Beautiful jelly fish view
Easy peasy....I just wait till the end to chat.
Best coverage yet but stop talking during launch want to hear the rocket not you
😆
If its the best coverage yet then he's they are doing something right.
Yeeooooooow
I saw live clear
You're here for roughly 1:00:00
Saw it die off in THE BAHAMAS
I hope the starlink internet isn't run by Elon!
By who? Elon Musk? He owns the company. ;)
Um he owns it
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
What the sigma
Gyatt
Space X is so amazing!!! YAY ELON MUSK, a true genius!!!
Sheople 😂
🇺🇲💪🇺🇲
Ok what the flip is going on here sigmas
😂😂😂😂😂😂
