Yeah... really too bad. They should have it over the weekend so more people can watch. This is a big deal.

I think NASA is jealous.  :D

Right. Like NASA scheduled all of its launches for a weekend crowd (it doesn't work that way).

Better to be on the ground wishing you were flying vs being in the air wishing you were on the ground.

This setup requires good weather with calm winds in a very large area. Look for launch scrubs more often than in the past.

Rats, and here I thought this was about the rat study going on in cities with rat populations during covid-19. Turns out all the closed restaurants have removed the largest food sources in the cities. Now rats are raiding each others litters and fighting over territory eating the dead. Rats in the burbs are doing fine since people are still putting out trash and pet food.

NASA is the agency that saved SpaceX when their (then) final mission succeeded. Musk was completely out of money at that point and there were no more investors to be found.

Blows my mind that in 10 minutes they are in orbit and the booster has returned to land on the barge.
