SpaceX just vaulted a rocket full of 60 satellites into the sky, marking a huge leap forward on its mission to put up a megaconstellation that could beam cheap broadband all over the planet
This is the first dedicated mission for SpaceX's internet constellation mission, called Starlink. It kicked off when the company's towering Falcon 9 rocket blazed toward the sky from a launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 10:30 pm ET.Around 11:30 pm ET, the second stage of the rocket deployed what's called a payload stack — holding all 60 satellites. It slowly began to drop the individual satellites into orbit.

It could even set SpaceX up to beat out competitors such as Amazon and SoftBank-backed OneWeb, which each want to form internet constellations of their own.
