Really good to hear. Handing those out like candy to folk who didn't spend time and effort earning it really cheapened the meaning.

Whilst I was standing, in the middle of then under construction RWY 26L/08R, at Long Beach Airport, CA (KLGB), the NASA Boys decided to go back to Texas (iPhone 8) .

*Note unidentified aircraft, right in front of the T-38, heading into Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX).

I know the "NS" in their flight numbers means "New Shephard", but to me, it says "Not Space".

1 min 45 sec vid from a day ago with current info on the Starship booster and spacecraft. Some future upgrades mentioned. Really cool engine gimballing test vid towards beginning.

No extraneous talking, just one point to the next. I like instructional/informative vids like that.
