Why does SpaceX need to launch Starlink from California?  Does the more northern latitude help get the sats in the proper orbit easier/sooner/cheaper?

Easier to do polar orbits from CA than from FL.  Used to be impossible in FL due to Cuba, but evidently it's become possible, but still more efficient, from CA.

What happens when you don't pay the rent

Quote
The authorities of Kazakhstan seized the assets of the Baikonur cosmodrome, managed in that Central Asian country by the Russian space agency Roscosmos. This was reported by the Kazakh media, according to which Astana intends to recover debts of about 2 billion rubles (about 25 million euros) disputed in Baikonur.

Guess they will have to ride with China if they want to get back into space. I doubt SpaceX will take an IOU.

Twitter video shows 13 years of SpaceX launches from Florida in one minute.  Rather impressive look at how the launch frequency has increased over the years.  Looks like a video game because it's really an animation.  You can even see some booster landings in the background.

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.

Oh wait, there's a reason why they're blue

Successful staging, but it looks like the stage 2 engine suffered an anomaly and failed to reach orbit.  Still a pretty cool flight since they proved 3D printed rocket structures can make it through the most difficult part of flight to staging.

Reaching Max q and beyond to show the craft could handle the stress was their main goal , to orbit would have been the cherry on top.
1st stage appeared to do it's job perfectly but then the 2nd stage demon said hi

If you listen to NSF much during yesterday's Raporchat it was revealed this was Chris G's last NSF broadcast since he was hired by SpaceX.

A lot of disappointment on their faces when that engine didn't fire up. Getting past Q was the big part of this flight.

The launch of LVM3-M3/OneWeb India-2 mission is scheduled for March 26, 2023, at 0900 hours IST from the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota.

This is the second mission for M/s. Network Access Associates Limited, United Kingdom (OneWeb Group Company) under a commercial agreement with M/s. NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) to launch 72 satellites to Low-Earth Orbits. The first set of 36 satellites was launched in LVM3-M2/OneWeb India-1 mission on October 23, 2022.

In this mission, LVM3 would place 36 OneWeb Gen-1 satellites totaling about 5,805 kg into a 450 km circular orbit with an inclination of 87.4 degrees. This is the sixth flight of LVM3. The LVM3 had five consecutive successful missions, including the Chandrayaan-2 mission.
