Meanwhile some bad news for SpX

https://x.com/stillgray/status/1845168590846144882

This could end up being a national security issue, depending on what launches SpaceX needs to turn down.  The Coastal Commission may have bit off more than they can chew here.

Not to mention the obvious 1A lawsuit that has gotta be incoming.

I was half listening to the SpaceX feed and I thought I heard them say they were going to skip the catch, but I'm not 100% on what they said.

Now I'm confused, the SpaceX feed just showed a rendering and said they would try and catch the Starship. I guess we'll know soon.

Several private planes buzzing around, hopefully there will be no range violations by either them or boats.

Aced the catch on the first try!  Amazing!  Looks like some adjustment to the fire suppression system is needed.  It could be a little more robust.

All the engines were running during boost.  It did not look like they lost any on ascent.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
