For those who might be interested there is a Space X launch today. The launch window is twenty two minutes commencing at 3pm GMT.  Payload = 143 satellites.

Reading about this launch earlier reminded of the early days,

when one rocket carried one satellite.

If you'd ask rocket designers then to find capability for 143,

they'd have fallen off their drawing office stools!

For people who are unaware of the current state of space transport development, the amazing fact is not how many rockets that SpaceX have launched, but how many they have landed for re-use (73). With luck SN9 should launch in the next few days as well.
