SpaceX is launching the 13th batch of Starlink Satellites [Live: 18.10.20, 12:27 UTC]
October has been terrible for launches. People have been making fun with first class puns, like "Scrubtober" or "ScrubX". There are some good news: the last Starlink launch is paving the way to a public beta test - as long as you live in northernly latitudes.
