Florida Today reports that on Monday, for the second consecutive day, SpaceX pushed the launch of 60 Starlink satellites atop a Falcon 9 rocket by 24 hours. The delay is due to unfavorable weather conditions near the recovery zone for the Falcon 9’s first stage. The mission is now scheduled to launch at 9:13 p.m. EST Tuesday.
