SpaceX launched 27 Starlink satellites from its Falcon 9 rocket on Wednesday from the Southern California base.

As new rockets and space companies arrive on the scene, this workhorse of a rocket, the Falcon 9, remains the most common rocket launched from Florida launch pads. It debuted 15 years ago this week, and has changed not only the launch cadence on the Space Coast but the entire industry.

Californians should have yet another chance to see a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soaring high in the sky this week.
