5. Falcon 9
• The Falcon 9 rocket, designed and
manufactured by SpaceX, is used to put
Starlink satellites into orbit.
• The Falcon 9 rocket is designed to be
reusable. After stage separation, the first
stage of the Falcon 9 can return to landing
site near the launch pad or to a drone ship
stationed in the ocean. The rocket lands
vertically, which allows it to be flown again
on future missions.

6. Benefits
• Better accessibility and coverage globally.
• Faster internet due to low earth orbit satellite reduce latency.

7. Negative aspect
• Starlink satellites are bright as they reflect sunlight and shine it back
toward earth so they end up looking like bright moving stars.
• This will interfere astronomers' views especially in viewing near earth object
(asteroid, debris) that has possibility to hit earth.
