SpaceX launches Falcon9 to help bring the internet to all

SpaceX has successfully launched 48 Starlink satellites using its Falcon 9 rocket - the 10th time in 2022.

The rocket left from Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, and Starlink satellites hope to supply less-developed areas of the world with high-speed internet. So far they have launched 2,000 of these satellites and are aiming for 40,000 more.
