Watch SpaceX launch 60 Starlink satellites in ONE launch!

SpaceX will be launching 60 demonstration satellites for their Starlink Internet constellation. The Falcon 9 will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS).

The first stage booster for this mission is B0149. It is flying its third mission, it previous launched the Telstar 18V satellite in September of 2018 and flew the Iridium 8 mission in January of this year. It will be landing approximately 621 km (385 miles) downrange on the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS), Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY). This will be one of the farthest downrange landing locations for a Falcon 9 so far.

Tim, what you're doing is absolutely fantastic. I've always had a deep passion for rockets, rocket launches, and space in general. I've learned so much more about all of those things thanks to you and your channel. So please keep doing what you're doing, and thank you from Pittsburgh.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Shaffer

Given they are now using first stages for their third or more times, they should start giving rockets each booster a livery and name so people can easily track particular boosters.

Another great video Tim, good extra info at the launches, prefer your streams over original livestreams. Keep up the good work! Greetz from the Netherlands

I know this video is old now but i really enjoy watching these videos because now im geeked out on Rockets! I love Engineering and everything around it and i know that is very generic but literally anything in engineering. You dont tend to realize how cool things are until people like you Tim, come along and help us all understand in more simple terms. So big thanks to you for doing what you do.

Glad you streamed this launch, because I couldn't find the livestream on the SpaceX page.

The Falcon has Landed (heaviest payload ever launch by the Falcon Family Rockets)

[storminmormin]

We should name the boosters now that we can expect them to be around a while.

Tim - can't wait for your Raptor engine video. Thanks for making excellent content. Please don't "retire." :)

[johnblair]

Oh Elon, would you PLEASE offer Tim a ride on a Crew Dragon. He needs to visit space.

[Cydonius]

Didn't get up to watch this live but managed to watch the recording without having seen any spoilers booo yah!

Great job Tim! That chat with your ISP sales rep paid off 100%. Stream was amazing as always!

34:56 what is that rythmic effect that we can see? you can see it even with the nozzle camera, does the second stage pumps work with some pulsating effect?, looks like a heartbeat, it really intrigues me.

[RWBHere]

We have 200 mbps+ downlink speeds here, and there are faster domestic options locally. Latency to the ISP server, is usually around 9 to 18 ms. It will be interesting to see what Starlink will do, when it's fully operational. Latency will be around at least 0.5 seconds, but the transfer speeds could be very competitive.

Everyday Astronaut can you see the bump in thrust at 34:56? You can clearly see that the foils are rhytmicaly bumping on the engine as well as at the beginning of the satellite stack. Any ideas why?

@1:32:13 Looks like it's a yaw "end-over-end" deployment, like a plane would flat-spin without losing altitude. (Looking at the earth horizon and sun position)

[bamarshmallow]

Just recently found your channel in my suggested about a week ago, gotta say im liking the content. Your explanation on the different types of engines was very in depth and for the most part, was pretty easy to understand (had to look up some terms). Keep up the great content. Was steadily losing interest in astronomy in general and SpaceX has revived that and you deliver the content :)

[scorpio]

So cool to see plasma form off those grid fins.

[danielscoggins]

Thanks for the broadcast Tim! Can't wait for the Raptor video!

[JRAT]

I am a casual SpaceX fan and that video on engines was so awesome and informative.
