Quote HistoryQuoted: Good Job SpaceX. I know the robotic platform ship is in the ocean and the weather was cloudy and rainy, but do you think you could land in the center of the yellow bullseye next time?. I mean sure, all parts of the rocket were inside the 10 ring and it still counts as a bullseye, but I don't want the French judge to have an excuse for deducting a half point and giving it to the Soviets.

Next launch is a regular crew rotation with 4 people on August 30. SpaceX's current launch cadence is insane in comparison to what EVERYONE combined was doing just a few years ago, and only going up from there.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I want SpaceX to buy a bigger barge. Perhaps an automated factory ship of some sort that would begin prepping the section for another launch not long after it lands.

If Boeing was doing this they would probably have a barge the size of a Nimitz class carrier which would never leave port. |

Here’s mine:
 Attached File Attached FileCame up right over the bridge. We were so close I was surprised at how fast it disappeared. Felt like only a few seconds and it was gone. Even the shockwave took forever to show up. It’s going fast, sure, but when you see it it’s going fast. Everyone cheered the whole time. Not going to lie, after it disappeared behind a cloud there was a sudden gust that got some dust in my eyes. Stood there watching the clouds for a bit, hoping to see the separation. I suddenly remembered an old line, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky...?” |

I‘d agree. There’s a half dozen companies working on big projects and each one is either using or building big facilities. The space race is back on, and they are rebuilding old stomping grounds to keep up. |
