Elon Musk’s SpaceX does a lot of heavy lifting — and it’s hard to believe that the aerospace giant has already launched more that 100 rockets this year alone.
SpaceX launched twice early Tuesday, Oct. 15 — first in Florida and then in California. The Florida launch — SpaceX’s rocket No. 100 for the year — took place at 2:10 a.m. Eastern time (11:10 p.m. Pacific) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, followed 2 hours and 11 minutes later by the California launch of rocket No. 101 at 1:21 a.m. Pacific time from Vandenberg Space Force Base near Lompoc.
Both launches were of Falcon 9 rockets, and both first stage boosters returned safely to Earth.

The payload for both missions consisted of Starlink satellites, with 23 heading into orbit from Florida and 20 from California.
The two launches capped off a successful week for SpaceX:
— A Falcon Heavy rocket carrying NASA’s Europa Clipper probe — headed to Jupiter’s ice-covered moon Europa — took off Monday, Oct. 14
— A Starship rocket made a successful test flight Sunday, Oct. 13

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
