[Launch Alert] Falcon 9 Launched

[Launch Alert]

The following is an update from SpaceX:

"On Friday, January 24 at 6:07 a.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

This was the 23rd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Sentinel-6, DART, SDA-0B, Iridium OneWeb, Transporter-7, NROL-113, NROL-167, NROL-149, and now 15 Starlink missions."

I have been watching Vandenberg SFB rocket and missile launches since November 1967. This morning's event is probably among the top five or six most visually impressive launches.
