A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base this evening (June 4), carrying 27 Starlink satellites for the company's growing wireless internet constellation.

Angry-looking red thunderstorms lit up National Weather Service radar screens along the northern portion of the Cape about 1½ hours before launch.

SpaceX on Wednesday afternoon launched another batch of 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on the 15th anniversary of the first Falcon 9 rocket launch.
