SpaceX launches another 60 Starlink satellites into orbit but fails to recover reusable rocket

The Falcon 9 rocket launched from Florida, carrying 60 small satellites into orbit. Falcon 9 is a reusable booster with 9 Merlin 1D engines, providing significant thrust. The payload includes Starlink telecom satellites with ion thrusters and solar arrays. The launch increased the Starlink constellation to nearly 300 satellites. This was the fourth reuse of the booster, with previous missions including satellite launches and ISS resupply. The rocket missed the drone ship but landed softly in the sea, with hopes for recovery.
