After SpaceX's eighth Starlink internet satellite launch, the company released a video of its Falcon 9 rocket jettisoning two $3 million fairings. //

SpaceX on June 3 launched its eighth batch of internet-beaming Starlink satellites into orbit atop a Falcon 9 rocket.
On Tuesday, the rocket company released a new video showing the rocket deploying its clamshell-like fairing, or nose cone, while traveling at about 8,150 mph.
The video shows two fairing halves flying apart and the rocket's upper or second stage propelling a stack of 60 Starlink spacecraft toward orbit.
SpaceX is learning to use boats to recover and later reuse its carbon-fiber fairing halves, each of which costs about $3 million to build. It's also working on a potentially revolutionary new rocket system called Starship.
