Interesting object caught on the live stream of the SpaceX rocket launch, which successfully delivered a batch of 60 Starlink satellites into orbit.
Its easy to pass this anomaly off as a water droplet, but consider the trajectory of the object, it appears to be leaving Earth, not heading toward it, which it would do if it was a water droplet, even water drops obey the laws of physics, this thing is flying.
Its also worth noting that an engine failed during the flight, and therefore was unable to stick a rocket landing at sea to cap the mission.
SpaceX manufacturing engineer Jessica Anderson stated:
"An attempt to land the Falcon 9's first stage in the Atlantic Ocean on SpaceX's drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" was not successful."
"Our first stage successfully separated from the second stage, but unfortunately we did get confirmation that we were not able to land that first stage today, while that was disappointing, she added, but the primary Starlink mission went on as planned."
