I wasn’t around during the early space days at all, but it’s so amazing how you can watch fairing separation and staging and so on now.

I believe in April they’ll be trying the re-land Stage 2 (or 1) task.

It’s funny, but when it comes to space I’m more comfortable now with metric than miles lol. I know 100km is the edge of space and so on, but would have to convert some to miles.

SECO-1, looks good. They said they’d lose video probably early.

That’s the inside of the RP-1 (kerosene) tank, I think.
