"Man Baskets" needs to be a band name.

And @Volker Kirstein, re: Astra's presentation earlier in the week, I agree they may not be as slick as SpaceX, but they're still not as paint-drying dull as four dudes circle-[discoursing] around a webcam feed. Bless them for keeping an eye on things, but hoo boy...

I rarely listen to them. Mute.
But.. if can stand to listen to the dribble…there are some things to learn.

Oh yeah, they're knowledgeable, for sure. I don't deny that. But they need to have a much better grasp on what is and is not important to the audience. A few hours ago, one of them piped up with: "Guys! We have some breaking news!!"

Followed by...

"We have just passed 200,000 subscribers!"




I'm sure that was huge to everyone in the group chat, but to the other 199,996 people listening... no.

So is several hours of idling diesel engines, and a rocket that hasn't moved.

Guess I'll catch the replay if/when they hoist it.

I did some miscellaneous house / office work while the stream ran in the background.

A nap would have been better.

They stacked the starship using the chopsticks/arms night last after I went to bed. I’m sure a time lapse video will be out soon

That camera angle gets the coolest lighting in the morning.

Looks like Puerto Rico had a good fireworks show of some returning Starlinks.

Yeah, looked like it was tumbling. Not good.
