1/18 UPDATE: There is again a delay in the launch time. Verify the info tomorrow at The SpaceX Launches Page: https://www.spacex.com/launches/index.html
Update: “SpaceX says it has delayed Falcon 9’s Starlink-16 launch to no earlier than (NET) 7:23 am CST (13:23 UTC), Tuesday, January 19th to allow time for weather to improve at the rocket’s Atlantic Ocean recovery zones.”
If the schedule holds, Falcon 9 booster B1051 is now on track to attempt its eighth launch and landing 37 days after flight number seven – still potentially breaking the current world record for rocket turnaround by two weeks.
