No one noticed “Will Robinson-Smith”? Did Zachary convince Will to marry him?

It appeared to be a successful reentry. Everything worked like expected. It looked that way, anyway.

Space X engineers heard chanting “USA USA USA”, Communist News Network (CNN) says: “it’s unclear why”

I just watched the entire recording. It still gives me chills watching huge engineering projects like that succeed. All those young people! Looks like nobody is over 40! What a thrill for all of them. What a career!

Kinda fits, too — there were an awful lot of engineers in their 20s and 30s in the Apollo program as well. We humans tend to peak early. Althooooooough, there’s that old saying, “Old Age and Guile will always prevail over Youth and Skill.” 😊

It looked great! In one of the feeds (I used three different ones at different times) a narrator said the version 3 Starlink sats that SpaceX will be launching with Starship will have a user capacity 20 x what can currently be launched on Falcon 9. Direct phone service is coming, an interesting bootstrapping strategy.

A great night for SpaceX, Musk and our country! Just to baffle CNN further, let me add:

USA, USA, USA!
