Space.com reported the launch as follows. “SpaceX broke its own rocket-reuse record on Friday (Nov. 3).
A Falcon 9 rocket launched 23 of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites to orbit from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 8:37 p.m. EDT (0047 GMT on Nov. 4). It was the unprecedented 18th mission for this Falcon 9’s first stage, according to a SpaceX mission description. The Falcon 9’s first stage came back to Earth to make a vertical landing about 8.5 minutes after launch on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean a few hundred miles off the Florida coast.”
