We sat out on our front patio and watched the flight across the sky at sunset. We’ve watched several of these launches, always an impressive sight.
“It was a record 40th flight for one of the Falcon 9’s fairing halves.”
What happened to the other half? You’d think they would stay together as brothers.
There is nobody who deserves to be a Trillionaire better than Elon Musk. To all his haters and grubby Marxists who want to seize his money I have nothing but contempt. (Yep, I’m looking at you Bernie!)
I wouldn’t have internet without Starlink. My ISP dropped me and I was without internet (except on my phone) for at least a year.

...liberals are disappointed it didn’t crash or blow up.
Love you home page...
Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon are retired in 2030. No replacements, only Starship - per E Musk.
