SpaceX launched 50 satellites and launched a rocket into the sea


A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 50 spacecraft into orbit on Tuesday, January 31, before returning to Earth for precision landings on the ship at sea. Loaded with 49 Starlink spacecraft and a payload from Italian company D-Orbit, Falcon 9 took off Tuesday at 11:15 ET (16:15 p.m. GMT, 8:15 p.m. local time) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. .
