    Definitely, but I don't think commercial/private flights will be available or cheap enough in my lifetime.

    I personally think I have a better chance of visiting the eventual moon colony.

    Marcus House on YT reports, and shows a pic, of both fairing halves on Ms Tree from this mission. Also stated Ms. Chief was not in the area due to another F9 launch.

    Also on another broadcast, someone reported both fairings were damaged from the Starlink mission.

    Meh, to the CCP I'm pretty sure they have more worry about the lost rocket than any danger to the population. Not even political, they have people in sure supply and it's not like they're worried about lawsuits lol.

    Onboard 1st stage camera view from the SAOCOM 1B Falcon 9 launch.
    Love the audio of all the different deployment sounds! You can catch a glimpse of some ice coming off the booster as it begins it’s decent, and as it straightens out you can even spot the launchpad plume. It never gets old!

    An oldie. Falcon 1 demo flight, also has a nice soundtrack of separation sounds. The 1st stage whacking the bell of the 2nd stage engine was a little unnerving! It took out the 2nd stage steering gimbal in the process.

    From the article:
    Since Loverro resigned in May, Boeing has fired one company attorney and a group of mid-level employees, three people familiar with the actions told Reuters.

    The mid-level employees, who typically don’t go to the bathroom with getting it approved, always take the first hit..

    And now everyone at Boeing, from the janitor on up, gets to take additional ethics training.

    Maybe if they'd had it in the first place...

    I can't tell you how many times I've had to take whistleblower training in the past 3 years. I think the current count is 6.

    Excerpt from today’s Rocket Report:

    Blue Origin turned 20 years old this week, and although the privately held company hasn’t yet put people into space or put a rocket into orbit,

    20 years !?! :eek:

    Musk didn't just go through a massive divorce.
