SpaceX had another successful launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base early Saturday morning.
At 1:23 a.m., the Falcon 9 rocket launched another 21 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East.
Clear skies made it possible to view the launch from downtown Santa Barbara and beyond.
This was the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, ISI EROS C-3, and now seven Starlink missions.
Starlink provides satellite internet service to even the most remote areas of the world.
