    The only details I know of Starlink comes from
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starlink

    Gives the impression you’d need a pizza box size receiver.

    Also gives a ridiculously high number of satellites planned for the system. This, along with Oneweb and other constellation systems are really going to mess up the LEO environment well beyond what it is now.

    2 Starship rockets per week at $5 million each.
    SLS is just a project to spend $$ with no possiblity of making it to the moon.
    SpaceX will make it to Mars before NASA makes it to the Moon.

    Assembly in orbit is going to make most rockets obsolete tbh. And SLS was never going to get anywhere without some sort of in orbit assembly, which means block 2 was stupid. A refillable EUS would have been cool though. But that got pushed wayyy back anyway.

    SpaceX has a Starlink launch scheduled for 10:05 Eastern Time zone from the cape.
    63 days since it flew it's last mission, fastest turn around yet for re-flight.

    Had it landed on the barge, it would have been the 50th landing.

    50 ?!?!?!!?

    SpaceX has been very successful in their relatively short history.

    In the replay, you can see/infer how close they missed the landing. To the right of the screen, just as you hear the call for landing legs deployment, water vapor/gas, kicks up off screen, then water drops on the camera.

    Ugg, hope it doesn’t delay the crewed Dragon launch.

    Looks like it was the rocket intentionally aborting due to a sensor malfunction. Was the 5th launch for this particular rocket apparently, and the rocket soft splashed. Wonder if they'll tow it back.
