Liftoff occurred at 6:13 a.m. EDT on Monday (June 8).

SpaceX has again broken its own rocket reuse record, launching a first 
stage booster for its 35th time.

The Falcon 9 rocket, carrying 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth 
orbit, launched on Monday (June 8). The vehicle lifted off at 6:13 a.m. 
EDT (1013 GMT) from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space 
Force Station in Florida.

Just over an hour later, SpaceX confirmed successful deployment of the 
Starlink payload (Group 10-35).

The record-setting first stage, Booster 1067, completed its 35th trip to 
space and back by landing on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" 
stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. With this flight, the Falcon 9 is 
approaching the overall reuse record set by NASA's space shuttle orbiter 
at 39 flights.

The launch increased SpaceX's Starlink megaconstellation to more than 
10,580 active satellites, according to tracker Jonathan McDowell. The 
network provides broadband internet access around the world, including 
in-flight wifi and direct to cell service for some carriers.

Monday's launch was SpaceX's 66th Falcon 9 flight of the year and 660th 
completed mission its history.

On Sunday, the company also launched another Falcon 9 rocket from 
Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. That mission carried 21 
Starlink satellites into orbit alongside two Starshield satellites for 
the U.S. military. It was the 10th flight for the Falcon 9 first-stage 
booster on that flight, SpaceX said.

I have shirts that I purchased 5 years ago that I haven't worn 35 times. 
Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think they would be able to 
launch a single F9 1st stage booster 35 times.
