    I’m guessing if NASA wants it to fly, they’ll find a way to make it so.

    That was awesome to watch! I'm glad the LZs were not foggy!

    @Hunterdc1 so jealous that you got to see it in person!

    Speaking of normalization. The 2 booster landings marked the 150th and 151st successful SpaceX booster landings. Can you imagine when we get to that number for Starship?!
