(What? Well, look, this is as insightful,
observant, and pithy as I get on Mondays)

Stuff That’s Hard to Do
New format to save paper:
Week’s worth of interesting launches, so check back on occasion
Links to videos (in red) provided when launch is imminent or accomplished
or when I get around to posting ’em
Falcon9 Starlink
Tuesday night launch from the Cape
Stg-1 barge landing
Falcon9 Dragon
Thursday night launch from the Cape to the ISS
Stg-1 landing on LZ-1
Dragon docks with ISS Saturday morning
Falcon9 Rideshare
Saturday late-morning launch from Vandenberg
Stg-1 landing on LZ-4
Beautiful sunny day, best VSFB launch video you’ll ever see
Pay attention to the unique view of Stg-1 right after separation
(What? A sunny day at Vandenberg? Yeah, I knowww!)
Falcon9 O3b Comsats
Sunday afternoon launch from the Cape
Stg-1 barge landing
NOTE:
I won’t be offended if you don’t care about this.
Just entertaining myself, here.
I used to work on this kind’a stuff, back in the Cold War,
and still get a kick out’a it.
Stuff That’s Hard to Do
Another exercise in nominality
Falcon9 Starlink night launch from the Cape
A boring but amazing exercise reminding
us that not all human activity is trash
Three launches sched for next week
Stuff That’s Hard to Do (Sunday Twofer)
Yeah, I know, boring… but awesome!
Yay, engineering!
(where you trust the science,
if it has shown to be trustworthy,
but you still design-in a safety margin,
then test the snot out of it
• Falcon9 Starlink night launch from Vandenberg
(Sun morning)
• Falcon9 Starlink night launch from the Cape
(Mon evening, delayed from Sun evening abort)
Time for a Little Detox?
Not sure whether dealing with global jackassery via on-line
self-entertainment helps one’s mental state or not
Who am I kidding?
Yes
Yes, it does
It most certainly does
