From 294 miles away Marco Island Florida to Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40 at 8:39 PM 10-17-23 this SpaceX Starlink 6-23 launch was simply incredible to witness in a crystal clear cloud free night sky! You could see the 2nd stage nebula all the way over Miami in this southeastern trajectory.
First stage booster B-1062 made it's sixteenth trip to space and re-landed on a drone ship near the Bahamas successfully.
This marks the 208th re-flight of a Falcon 9 first stage booster and the 236th booster landing with 272 total launches. It also makes the 75th corporate SpaceX launch in 2023 from their California and Florida launch pads.
Simply beautiful! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team and SLD-45 Space Force.
