SpaceX launches Falcon 9 rocket in California [FULL]

SpaceX continued its rapid pace of launches Monday with the flight of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The Starlink 11-21 mission will add another 28 more of the V2 Mini iteration of the satellites into low Earth orbit. An on-time liftoff would break the record for the fastest pad turnaround for SpaceX’s West Coast launch pad, coming just under 55 hours since the Starlink 11-12 mission on Saturday. The company has already set turnaround records this month on both coasts.
