A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today (May 14), carrying 28 Starlink satellites for the company's growing constellation.

Live updates from the Starlink 6-83 mission, which launched at 1:02 a.m. on May 13 from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A.

SpaceX chief Elon Musk has strongly suggested that the ninth test flight of the massive Starship rocket will take place next week. “Just before the Starship flight next week, I will give a company talk explaining the Mars game plan in Starbase, Texas, that will also be live-streamed on X,” Musk said in a social media post on Wednesday.

The fourth day in May became Star Wars Day because of the franchise's iconic phrase, "May the force be with you."
