111 booster landings and great footage of this one with a new booster.
I'm a retired master e-tech, worked on some insanely complicated equipment however the hardware and software employed by spacex is mind boggling. |

I had a feeling that was fixing to happen when I got to the intersection and saw the back up. For 39A launches they usually shut down the north area 2 hrs before launch or when parking at Playlinda is full whichever happens first. Cape side launches aren't normally a problem but it's a nice day and a weekend so... |

from back in January
https://www.cruisehive.com/coast-guard-investigation-points-to-royal-caribbean-after-canceled-spacex-launch/72184 The US Coast Guard concluded an investigation that puts the blame for a canceled SpaceX rocket firmly in Royal Caribbean’s hands. The Harmony of the Seas departed Port Canaveral back in January when it sailed into one of the exclusion zones the Coast Guard had created to protect the public in case of an emergency. Due to the vessel being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the rocket’s launch had to be canceled. Harmony of the Seas had no authorization to be in the area. However, the US Coast Guard did admit that communication protocols between the vessel’s Captain and the authorities were lacking. |

The folks I know go out there for surfing and surf fishing. I think if the big old nastys are still around they would be way north of the north end parking area. Rumor was a long time ago the strippers from Orlando used to go to that way north area but I think that's a trick

I recall reading... Somewhere on this site, that it was originally slated to go up on SLS but they selected an expended Falcon Heavy because they could not be sure that SLS wasn't going to shake it to death.  The savings of well over a billion bucks is also a plus.
