The launch was originally scheduled for April 25 but has been delayed for the same time on Thursday. You can watch the Starlink launch live online, starting about 15 minutes before liftoff. During the launch window, the conditions were quite foggy. It currently has about 4,000 operational satellites, but that number could soar to more than 40,000 once complete. 

The two commercial satellites were carried toward the earth.
