Jack Beyer@thejackbeyerVandenberg’s SLC-6 will live on! It’s being leased by… SpaceX!!
Though disappointed in how the trip turned out, Mr. Benson said the result was not unexpected. "I had placed the odds of her making it without a wreck at about 50/50," explained Mr. Benson. "If she wants to drive all the way to Martin's Cleaners, you've got to start somewhere. We learned a lot today, and we'll be rebuilt and ready for another go in a few months."

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has grounded SpaceX’s Starship prototypes as it completes a “mishap investigation” into last week’s dramatic test flight.
Tyler Gray 🚀@TylerG1998Evidently, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft will make a pass over the HAKUTO-R landing area in a few minutes’ time.Don’t know what’ll happen in this regard, but we shall see.
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, April 26 at 6:40 a.m. PT (13:40 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 46 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. A backup opportunity is available Thursday, April 27 at the same time.The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, ISI EROS C-3 and three Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, April 26 for a Falcon Heavy launch of the ViaSat-3 Americas mission to geostationary orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Also on board this mission is Astranis's first MicroGEO satellite and Gravity Space’s GS-1 satellites. The 57-minute launch window opens at 7:29 p.m. ET (23:29 UTC). If needed, a backup opportunity is available Thursday, April 27 with the same window.
Falcon 9 launch scrubbed. "due to probability of landing failure"
Chris Bergin - NSF@NASASpaceflightI was shuffling through RS-25/SSME documentation, because 720 seconds is very long, but not as long as this one!2,017 second test! Does anyone remember that test? 😮

But really cool watching it rise out of the fog
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy is launching the ViaSat-3 Americas mission. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:29 PM EDT (23:29 UTC) from LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The center core is B1068-1, and the side cores are B1052-8 and B1053-3. All boosters being used on this mission will be expended.
Chris Bergin - NSF RetweetedGav Cornwell@SpaceOffshore·20mLighting strike near LC-39A.The ViaSat-3 mission has been scrubbed.
Philip Whitehouse@philipwhiuk·11mPer LCC 4.1.1.1/2 - automatic 30 minute hold (barring some specific conditions) if there's a lightning strike within 10nmi of the launch pad/flight path. No choice really.
