They should put some Chinese food in the cargo, the ISS crew could live off the leftovers.

Why, that’s two Gov. Pritzkers. Or one and a half former Gov. Christies!

My first thought too. But am I the only one who hasn’t tired of watching the poster landing?

Booster, but I typed ‘boster’ and autocorrect turned it into ‘poster’. But Amazon has posters available.

This is the 117th successful orbital launch by SpaceX this year.

I watched the launch this morning from the Orlando area. The sky was clear and the time of day perfect for a large “sky jellyfish” to form in the upper atmosphere from the contrail and large plume of gases when the second stage fires. I also saw the first stage light up as it made its return approach to the Cape.

I had “Astronomy Poster - SpaceX Falcon Heavy Boosters Landing” as the wallpaper on my work computer.

My brother was getting his truck ready for work this morning when he looked up and saw the stage separation overhead. Since he was still “waking up” he said it startled the crap out of him. Then he figured it out.

He sent an amazing picture from his phone.

We never see that stuff up here in New England.

Whoever wrote the headline must have attended the Zoolander School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good.

That was a great closeup, I’m not sure I’d ever noticed that web of lines before.

I dunno for sure, but I think the scaling back on v1 Starlink launches aboard the F9 will keep the full year number from exceeding last year’s — 52 more to tie.
