It was the 27th Falcon 9 launch so far this year for SpaceX, a new record.
The astronauts originally planned to carry out the spacewalk Tuesday, but NASA ordered a delay to fully evaluate possibly threatening space debris.
An overnight "debris notification" prompted NASA to delay the spacewalk. It wasn't immediately clear if the alert was linked to a recent Russian weapon test that unleashed a cloud of debris.
NASA cleared engineers to begin fueling the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope for launch December 22.
The module will use a Russian "space tug" to rendezvous with the space station Friday.
The DART mission is intended to test the feasibility of one day deflecting a threatening asteroid.
The New Shepard flight in December will be Blue Origin's third with passengers and its first with a crew of six.
The $330 million DART probe will crash head-on into a small asteroid to test the possibility of averting future threats to Earth.
NASA is assessing the possible impact of a processing incident that jostled the nearly $10 billion telescope.
The moon will move into Earth's shadow for 3 hours and 28 minutes this month.
"We indeed successfully tested our promising system," Russia's defense minister said, while denying that the debris posed a threat to the space station.
The Artemis moon program will cost $93 billion through 2025, according to a new estimate from NASA's Inspector General.
State Department says Russia "recklessly" carried out an anti-satellite missile test, creating a cloud of space debris.
The asteroid only comes close enough to view for a few weeks every April.
SpaceX has now launched 1,844 Starlinks since the first two prototypes were sent up in 2018.
