On Tuesday, August 22 at 2:37 a.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

This was the 15th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, ISI EROS C-3, and now six Starlink missions.

    Love the quiet launch was very nice

    15:57 the fact that these landings are getting more and more repetitive and casual, is the most epic thing that SpaceX has achieved.
  • The day these landings is seen as normal/boring will be a sad day. As someone who grew up around the shuttle era, I will find these fascinating till the day I die
  • @Lioness_UTV
    Those landings never grow old. Its so surreal, it still looks like Thunderbirds 😵‍💫 very cool.
  • @fazerider9287
    Such a pleasure to hear mission control without irritating commentary explaining the meaning of technical terms such as “supersonic”!
  • @Flamee7021
    I randomly stumbled upon this live broadcast right at the moment of landing, and i audibly cheered for them when it landed. Time spent wisely
  • The landing is still mesmerizing as like the first one, here you go 16:10 Get ready for the "Crew-7 Mission"
  • @hydrorix1
    "Stage One Landing Confirmed" Dead solid perfect! Again!🚀
  • @jdh2024
    It is nice that commentators don't have to be up in the middle of the night or take time out of their work day to do launch commentary. Starlink launches have become more frequent and more routine.
  • @mineland66
    As impressive as allways, I never get bored of seeing this!
  • @tedlis517
    I've watched so many launches that I could hear the script in my head today even without narrator. 😊
  • @olmeg96
    Big thanks to SpaceX and Starlink... Great as usual.
  • @eastafrica1020
    Love to see Starship doing it regularly like Falcon does it now.
  • @andrewgarley1400
    Strange with no Narration, seemed so quiet, Great footage of the landing!
  • @JakeyDill
    It's still amazing how they pull this off
  • Facinating! The dynamic nature of this organization leads to continued anticipation and excitement. A suggestion: if this kind of Starlink launch broadcast becomes normal --- adding notes on the screen for Booster number, how many launches on the Booster to date, and the landing platform I.D. and location ...would be fun to read and note
