• SpaceX continues to make efficiency gains

    From Frank Howell@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 29 12:07:06 2022
    Like two days after its 150th launch, the company will make its 151st as
    early as today, Friday, April 29. This Starlink launch will feature a
    booster that has flown five previous times, including most recently
    launching the Axiom-1 mission into orbit. That crew flight took place
    just 21 days ago, so SpaceX has managed to cut its refurbishment period
    to just three weeks.

    They are light years ahead of completion, but the PEA could impede them.

    Keep sticking them up there, Elon. Get enough of them up, and my
    obstructionist pine trees won't matter.

    He's probably already decided where the bathrooms will be in a complex
    at the Cape.

    Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

    can fill the order I placed 14 months ago...

    Send him a twatter and tell him you can't free speak properly until he
    gets you dishied.
