SpaceX has launched the Es’hail-2 satellite on Thursday, November 15 from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The satellite will be deployed to a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) approximately 32 minutes after liftoff.
The first stage has successfully landed.

I know this was a used booster and not the first time a booster was reflown but I wonder if anyone knows if a booster has been used multiple times and if so what is highest reuse so far achieved and/or still adding counting to said booster.
We need some new milestones to look for to.
That could have been a bad day…
hmmm good question. about T+6:05…
What was that object near the first stage that was shown during the first stage re-entry burn?
Because he wants to reinvest all of his profit back in to SpaceX instead of writing you a check.
Because Elon Musk is already regretting that he ever took Tesla public. As the owner of a private company, Musk does not, for example, need to justify to anyone else the decision to develop BFR. The moment you go public, you have a fiduciary duty to the stockholders, which complicates plans to build rockets for which there is no current market (the old chicken and egg problem) and projects like a Mars base, whose economic drivers are, shall we say, iffy.
The point is that if Musk succeeds and creates a viable deep space infrastructure, there will be plenty of companies that *will* go public that you can buy stock in, whether or not SpaceX is one of them.
Why oh why can I not by SpaceX stock yet!!!
I’m intrigued by whomever voted that this story made them ANGRY.
I assume a Lockheed shareholder.
It was not a satellite. The booster was too low in the atmosphere for any stable orbit a satellite would be in.. It probably was a piece of ice or carbon residue from the engines that came off.
probably satellite, if you look closer you can see a lot of thing moving in the period of disconnections and re-entry burn
