    That remains a constant here!

    We had partial clearing here on the coast, 26nm due north, so I was sitting on my porch waiting for the upside down candle to poke up over the hill. Nada by 10:40 so I looked it up. Recycled mission in 24 hrs. I think their window is 10:40 manana.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    They didn't specify but you couldn't even see the ship through the lens. Extremely foggy.

    Yeah, about 7 hours out of a 29 hour total trip, too.
    I’d be surprised if they stick w this booster for Crew-5. The Russians will probably throw a shit fit if they do.

    Who analyzes the X-Rays? An MD, Veterinarian.. :rofl:

    Kinda crazy when you think of how many boosters have made this trip then all of a sudden, they drive one into a bridge?

    That makes 32 launches this year, with only 31 in all of 2021! Plus, this is the most launches from Vandenburg since 2018!
