SpaceX is targeting 9:25 pm Eastern for launch of their next batch of 60 StarLink internet relay satellites. Following booster separation they will attempt to land the booster on their ocean drone ship and also recover the two protective payload fairings.
SpaceX is scheduling a Starlink launch about every two weeks, besides their other launches of commercial satellites. Another one is set for later in June.

That time, the feed didn't cut out and we saw the booster touch down on the drone ship. Take that, you disbelievers!

Another perfect launch by SpaceX ! If I heard correctly that’s the fifth use and recovery for that first stage. The pace SpaceX is keeping is amazing. I don’t know what their launch costs are but the pace of launches and reuse of the first stage and fairings has got to be bringing costs down. Boeing is going to have a tough time if they don’t get their orbiter in service very soon and United is going to have a hard time competing on costs. Seems that Musk has kept SpaceX lean , fast , and focused.
