SpaceX is preparing to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Monday afternoon that will carry internet-beaming Starlink satellites into orbit.

SpaceX plans to launch 23 more of its Starlink internet satellites from California's central coast today (Jan. 24).

At the crack of dawn Friday, Shell Beach resident Erik Olson stood on his balcony to catch a glimpse of a scheduled rocket launch from the Vandenberg Space Force Base as it painted the sky above San Luis Obispo County. Olson follows all the rocket activity from Vandenberg, but said this morning’s launch was “particularly impressive.”
