SpaceX will launch 21 more of its Starlink internet satellites to orbit tonight (Sept. 3), and you can watch the action live.
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Starlink spacecraft is scheduled to lift off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center tonight at 7:25 p.m. EDT (2325 GMT).

If all goes according to plan, the Falcon 9's first stage will come back to Earth safely: It will touch down about 8.5 minutes after liftoff on the drone ship Just Read the Instructions, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
It will be the 10th launch and landing for this particular booster, according to a SpaceX mission description.
The Falcon 9's upper stage will keep on flying, eventually deploying the 21 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) about 65 minutes after liftoff.
