SpaceX is targeting Saturday, December 18 for a Falcon 9 launch of 52 (Starlink) satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 4:41 a.m. PST (12:41 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on Sunday, December 19 at 1:03 a.m. PST (9:03 UTC).
The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Dragon's first crew demonstration mission, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, SXM-7, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will return to Earth and land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.
update we love spacex, traveled to Boca Chica to see the starship get built. & we got the S dual motor fsd last Christmas 🎄 😎 still have the cybertruck tri motor or 4 motor fsd on order, i got lots of solar & backup battery system to charge them both. i have tsla too. i just got tired of paying $5 for a gallon of gasoline.time to buy the DIPS!

Awesome job SpaceX! I can't believe that you pulled this off! Truly incredible.

In 2021, two Starlink satellites intentionally changed their orbit twice and approached China's Space Station, resulting in CSS has to perform emergency maneuver to avoid collision. This has reported by China to the UN, but it has never been reported by SpaceX or any western media/social media. This is MURDER, SpaceX and Musk! Shame on you!

Thanks ! One day every Neuron on the Planet will be linked voluntarily , the burst of Energy will send a very special signal. It's obvious Starlink will be there. Right now we have Explorers like " Itchy Boots " here on YouTube ,traveling by motorcycle through Ecuador towards Alaska, and the lady has to ride around from town to town looking for a good signal to send her videos . Starlink Broadband pay - as - you - go on Road , Mountaintop and Jungle stops around the World soon ?

I was fortunate to see Starlink satellites fly near Lake of The Pines, CA months ago. Honestly, I didn't know about Starlink at the time. I thought it might be the aliens flying in some unusual Morse Code pattern. I was waving excitedly at them totally thrilled. I posted on twitter about it and people tweeted back that it was the Starlink satellites.
I did see the Black Triangle UFO flyover the Hollister, CA area in Nov. 1979. First I saw 2 two "headlight" orbs parked about 20ft off the ground on a blue column of light. They were a golden color, silent. I went & got my friend. We stood & looked at them. They were about 60-80ft away. Their lights got brighter & brighter, too bright, but not glaring. They became a whiter light. My friend went to get her brother when the lights became too bright. I stayed boldly, but not afraid, looking at them. Just as they got too bright & I was about to turn my head, they flashed brighter. I went to get my friend, her bother & another friend. We came out right away, but couldn't see any lights. We stood there looking around & head a super, smooth, super quiet engine close by, but we couldn't see anything.
Then we looked up at the sky & saw a huge equilateral triangle flying silently overhead. It/they turned on a big beam of light and cruised majestically off into the night. It was magnificent. I could see "white" lights on the vertices. Later my friends talked about seeing a strange, red light in the center of the triangle. I didn't see the red light. I wondered if it was because they flashed the orb lights brighter into my eyes. It was a profoundly moving experience. The only UFOs I knew about in 1979 were flying saucers & little green Martians. Since then, thousands of sightings of the Orbs & Black Triangle UFOs have been enjoyed by people worldwide.

Thank you!

Man this is getting boring. Which is a good thing. It's getting more and more like an airplane flight. Uneventful.

I love how you can see the stage 2 burning over on the stage one side for about 15 seconds before it was out of range

All we got to see is a rocket launch. Yeah unfortunately, as usual ya can't figure out how to get video of what we all tune to see.

Why don't you show the recovery landing of the Falcon 9? It's what sells this program and keeps me and my husband interested!

Where's the usual cheering at stage separation? Every successful launch is still amazing ! :)

This is something that Von Braun should have seen, Also the boys in the coal fields in West Virginia. If you seen the movie you know what I am saying. I am from there.
@VNV67 Says:
Hey Guys and Gals
I have a question that I haven't seen here. I have watched every launch of the Starlink missions (Because I am waiting on my Starlink Package that I placed back in February 2021) but never heard it.
Question; Why do we hear the sonic boom when stage 1 comes in to land but never hear one when the Falcon 9 is launched and it goes through trans sonic? Even when it is going 1200+ KM/H .
Another great launch from SPACEX, I live in zip code 34433 and can see the launch from here when it isn't cloudy. I am hoping to get my dish soon. I was hoping to get it before Christmas but I guess not.

Congratulations to spacex
@junifijuni1 Says:
Saw it from my own window, so astounding to get to see these from your home. Along with being able to spot spacecraft as they fly overhead.
@vortmax1981 Says:
I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching the booster landing. And to think just a few years ago people thought that was impossible or too expensive.
@thewunder-lusters9644 Says:
Even without 'cool views', of the satellite release, it's always cool to watch. :)
