TL;DR
Amazon's plan to bring high-speed internet
The Atlas V 551 rocket—known for handling big jobs—is carrying these satellites to low Earth orbit. It's all part of Amazon's plan to bring high-speed internet to places that need it most, aiming for a constellation of over 3,200 satellites.
Watch on ULA's website
You can watch the action starting about 20 minutes before liftoff on ULA's website or Space.com. Weather looks pretty good, with a 75% chance things go as planned—just some clouds could get in the way.
