    It opens a new tab then takes me to Twitter where it wants me to sign in or create an account, no matter where I click.

    Here’s some horrible iPhone photos of the launch from 35 miles away.
    It was such a clear night and was super cool to watch the stage separation and ignition of the 2nd stage!

    Has anyone here heard of the supergun concept for orbiting satellites? It's really what it sounds like. Based off what the Germans did in WW2 you assemble an extremely long barrel "gun" with charges that vent in the direction of the target along the barrel as the launch vehicle passes. If timed perfectly you can limit g-forces to acceptable levels with extremely high efficiency from the propellent. The launch vehicle basically only carries enough fuel to complete orbital maneuvers.

    The Iraq's hired a Canadian engineer to build a working launch system but the Mossad killed him and Western Intelligence frozen shipments of the barrel tubes before the project was anywhere near complete. I still wonder why that method of launching hasn't been tried again given for something like Starlink it would be way more efficient than using the Falcon launch system. It seems right up Elon's avenue, except I guess a big tube up a hill isn't as sexy as the Falcon.

    How do you propose to circularize the orbit, and how many G will you take on the initial acceleration?
