SpaceX founder Elon Musk said the first 60 Starlink internet satellites would look "like spreading a deck of cards on a table" while going into orbit.
Elon Musk's SpaceX hopes to launch the first 60 internet-providing satellites of its Starlink network on Thursday between 10:30 p.m. and midnight ET.
Videos and photos posted to Chinese social media show the mid-flight destruction of a Long March 4C rocket and a reported military payload on top.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that, while the company's Starlink internet network calls for 12,000 satellites, only 1,000 are needed to make a profit.
