Watch live: SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches 23 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with another batch of second-generation satellites for Elon Musk's Starlink internet service. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled to launch at 10:37 p.m. EDT (0237 UTC) on Thursday, May 2. The first-stage booster making its 19th flight will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, about eight and a half minutes into the flight.

The mission, designated Starlink 6-55, will be the 30th launch of Starlink satellites this year and the 45th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket in 2024

Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, starting approximately an hour prior to liftoff.

I tried to find your coverage last night on YouTube but only the NASA commentators were shown....I had to turn the NASA off because there are NO commentators as professional and knowledgeable as Will (in my opinion!).
