SpaceX set a launch turnaround record with back-to-back, coast-to-coast Falcon. launches. Following its second return to flight mission in as many months with a Falcon 9 rocket, SpaceX proceeded to set a new turnaround record. These two launches of 21 Starlink satellites come just days after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily grounded the Falcon fleet amid an investigation into a failed booster landing attempt on Wednesday.
