F9/Starlink 6-10: This will be the 56th Falcon 9-family launch this year, the 254th overall and the 247th single-stick F9 flight; booster B1067 is making its 13th flight; a successful recovery would be SpaceX's 217th overall and its 171st at sea
F9/Starlink 6-10: T-minus 35 minutes; propellant loading should be underway, but SpaceX hasn't said/tweeted confirmation
F9/Starlink 6-10: Vapor wafting from the rocket indicates fueling is, in fact, underway
F9/Starlink 6-10: The 22 Starlinks going up this evening will boost the total orbited to date to 4,962; going into tonight's launch, space statistician Jonathan McDowell (@planet4589) said 4,566 Starlinks were presumed functional (not counting this latest batch)
F9/Starlink 6-10: Nice view of the "big vent" from Spaceflight Now
F9/Starlink 6-10: 5 minutes to launch; no known issues
F9/Starlink 6-10: LIFTOFF! At 11:36:50pm EDT (0336 UTC
F9/Starlink 6-10: 1st stage engine shutdown, stage separation and 2nd stage engine ignition confirmed; the 1st stage now heading for touchdown on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas stationed several hundred miles downrange
F9/Starlink 6-10: 1st stage entry burn complete
F9/Starlink 6-10: 1st stage landing confirmed; this was SpaceX's 171st booster recovery at sea, it's 217th overall and its 143rd in a row
F9/Starlink 6-10: 2nd stage engine shutdown; good orbit confirmed; the vehicle will now coast for ~45 minutes before a short second burn to reach the planned deploy orbit
F9/Starlink 6-10: 2nd stage engine restart and shutdown; good orbit confirmed; Starlink deploy expected in about 11 minutes
F9/Starlink 6-10: Starlink deploy confirmed; and that brings SpaceX's 56th launch so far this year to a successful conclusion
Due to Hurricane Hilary impacting recovery operations in the Pacific, we are standing down from tonight's Falcon 9 launch of @Starlink. Next launch opportunity is no earlier than Monday, August 21 →

It was the 99th Falcon 9 flight with Starlink satellites as the primary payload and the 12th launch of the so-called V2 mini satellites which are larger and have four times the bandwidth of the previous models.

(...) With B1067 safely back home, the Falcon 9’s second stage continued tonight’s push to orbit, burning for more than six minutes and releasing the 22 downsized Starlink “V2 Mini” satellites into free flight about 65 minutes after liftoff. V2 Minis, first flown in February, boast three to four times greater “usable” bandwidth than earlier iterations. (...)
