SpaceX To Launch Starlink In Florida After Delays, Estimates SpaceX No.1 Rocket Company

SpaceX has attempted to launch Starlink, a series of satellites that could be capable of bringing internet globally as the project expands, but over the last few days, it has had unsuccessful launch windows due to the weather. They are now targeting a Thursday, May 21st, launch, but even with delays, it was reported that an estimate has SpaceX's revenue at $2 billion dollars, making SpaceX the No.1 rocket company by revenue.

The Starlink Launch

SpaceX will be launching the Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. The Starlink launch window will be between 10:30 pm Thursday, May 21st, to Midnight. Its previous delays were due to upper-level winds. If delayed once again on Thursday, the next launch could be on Friday as the projection of wind patterns show a very favorable launch day. The Starlink mission is expected to have over 1000 satellites providing internet to our entire planet, its an ambitious mission from Elon Musk. It's expected to be completed roughly in 2027, but it may begin operations as early as 2021.
