    Bummer, I'm 5 days late! A few years ago I walked out of Frazier Farms in Vista just after dark. There were 30 astounded people looking to the sky at a spectacular SpaceX event. We didn't know what it was and could only speculate. The condensation/exhaust/whatever was just huge across the sky and backlit by the moon (I think). We figured military, but all were in awe.

    There will be about 1 Starlink launch per month from Vandenberg for the next 16 months.

    Just watched the Docu-series on Netflix and waiting for the 5th and final episode.

    Pretty much a bummer though they are being silent on live updates. I get they have the show, but sheesh, barely know they are up there.

    The splashdown will be live, scheduled for 7:06 EDT today.

    There's a few videos on YouTube of the Inspiration4 flight with some good views out of the cupola.
    I think Netflix owns control of all of the video.
