SpaceX and other space stuff

SpaceX launched an NRO satellite from Vandenberg today. Excellent landing video! There's a Starlink launch tomorrow.

They're rolling right along this year.

Looks like the Spacex Super Heavy Booster 4 and Ship 20 will be shown mated together on 10 Feb (Thursday), 8pm Central Standard Time. Looking forward to this.

On my birthday Hubble saw the Antennae Galaxies. The two merging spiral galaxies that comprise the Antennae galaxies began their interaction only a few hundred million years ago. Over the course of the merger, billions of stars will be formed. Looks kinda like a question mark to me. And somewhat fitting.

Let's see if Astra goes straight up or power slides again:

Whoops. Scrubbed. Well, to tide us over, we instead present the electric slide...

Just imagine all those people are rockets.

There's a reason I never became an astronaut...

Space is stacking B4 on the launch pad right now presumably for a full stack fir the presentation on Thursday from Elon.

For all us space nerd here. I’m watching… For All Mankind, AppleTV. An alternate space race series. Very good so far.

AppleTV

Don't get that, so I'm watching the Dobie Gillis marathon on Decades.

Still nerdy.

We turned it on recently to watch a M. Night series. It’s still turned on for a while. Lots of good stuff to watch. We watched a Tom Hanks movie about WWII yesterday... it was very good. Somewhat cheap @ $4.99 a month. And I’m a pretty frugal guy.
I’m very sure we will cancel soonish. Just like we cancelled Disney after watching Get Back.
