The SpaceX Falcon 9 illuminated the sky with Starlink deployment in San Diego, California.

Footage shows the rocket being launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base, embarking on its mission carrying a payload of 22 Starlink internet satellites destined for orbit on March 31 at 7:30 pm.

As the Falcon 9 soared into the heavens, its fiery trail left onlookers in awe, marking a familiar sight in Southern California.

The rocket's first stage had a successful landing on the drone ship 'Of Course I Still Love You' stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

Originally scheduled for Saturday (March 30), the launch faced a brief delay due to adverse weather conditions near the launch site in Santa Barbara.
