It's a noteworthy SpaceX launch day — with a Falcon 9 rocket first-stage booster attempting to land on a drone ship in the Bahamas for the first time. Welcome to FLORIDA TODAY Space Team live coverage of this evening's SpaceX Starlink 10-12 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The rocket's first stage will come back to Earth about eight minutes after liftoff, landing on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of The Bahamas. SpaceX has traditionally parked its drone ships in the open ocean, but it recently signed a deal with The Bahamas that will open new opportunities to the company.
