Stuff That’s Hard to Do
Everybody’s launchin’ this week!
(all times Eastern)
Per the Launch Handbook: Scrub, Reschedule, Rinse, Repeat
I expect this-week’s schedules to bounce around like a pool break.
Check back daily for the latest schedule guesses.
• Thu night Electron SARsat from NZ (previous mission had failed)
• Sun night 11pm Falcon9 Starlink from the Cape
• Dec 28 Falcon Heavy, USSF Spaceplane X-37B from the Cape
• Dec 28 Falcon9 Starlink from Vandenberg
I’ll add the video links when they’re available
You’re Pronounsing it Wrong
NOTE:
That’s Col Douglas Mortimer, best shot in the Carolinas,
not to be confused with DougM, okay shot in NC

US Hostage Swap Stalled…
…until the US agrees to bomb itself
UPDATE:
The more I think about it,
the more it sounds like the
American hostages are now being
held on Iran’s orders, not HAMAS’s
