SpaceX's 600th Falcon 9 mission launched 25 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg SFB's SLC-4E at 5:59 PM PST on February 14. Booster B1081, on its 22nd flight, landed on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" in the Pacific. Despite the drone ship landing (which typically directs the boom over the ocean), residents near Arroyo Grande, just 30 miles from the launch site, reported feeling the boom about 6 minutes after liftoff. The launch was also visible as a spectacular light show over Los Angeles at sunset.
