SpaceX is eyeing the first hours of Monday to launch latest batch of Starlink satellites from Kennedy Space Center.

Blue Origin also has the hope of joining SpaceX in the business of landing and reusing its first stage booster. Months ago, the company's landing platform was spotted with a "tester" first stage booster at Port Canaveral. Spectators stopped to watch as the mock up New Glenn first stage sat next to a recently flown SpaceX Falcon 9.

SpaceX launched a new round of 21 Starlink satellites into lower Earth orbit, 13 of which can contact cell phones directly.

SpaceX launched 21 Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast early Monday morning (Dec. 23) and landed the returning rocket on a ship at sea.
