🇺🇸 SpaceX launched another 27 Starlink satellites into orbit, and the real star of the show was a Falcon 9 booster flying for the 36TH TIME.
The rocket lifted off from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base, successfully deployed its satellites, and landed on a droneship in the Pacific just 8.5 minutes after launch.
Booster B1063 first flew back in NOVEMBER 2020. It even launched NASA's DART mission, which successfully slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid.
Nearly six years later, it's STILL flying missions and landing safely.

@MarioNawfal That Falcon 9 booster is on flight 36 and still sticking the landing. Most of us need a nap after a second trip to the airport.
