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

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 23 satellites for Elon Musk's Starlink internet service. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 1:09 a.m. EDT on Sunday, July 28 (0509 UTC). The first-stage booster making its 14th 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 10-4, will take a north-easterly trajectory on departure from the space coast.

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

Just unexpectedly saw this from my hotel balcony at the beach about 30 minutes away from the launch and I have never experienced anything so cool in my life.

London Ontario Canada here. Thank you for your work. I envy you being there to watch Falcon.. Lucky me ...saw the boys of 11 land live. Watching our progress intrigues me. People do not give Elon and Shotwell and others their due. It is all just terrific. We need more people out there. Our probes are second to none. Except for Russians That was spectacular. Voyager? Killer. TESS, Galileo, Juno, Parker, Cassini and ao many. more. I am proud of humanity.

1:01:00 - You've gotta dip NAT when you go back to announce... or deploy a carefully set stereo compressor that will do it for you; couldn't hear you narrate at all...

When is the next one on California side?

Ellwood racing world headquarters is a go for launch

Wow, the upper stage has NO MORE ICE CREAM, it is working good. Good job Elon....

I worry that every space launch we make, we punch a hole in our Ozone that protects us all. How long does it take for that hole to regenerate and fill in the gap? Is our quest to Space eventually going to come back to haunt us All?

Americans do not understand Kilometers in Altitude or Kilometers per Hour. PLEASE include Miles and MPH1.
I know that the default is Metric, but don't confuse us.
