STARSHIP/SUPER-HEAVY LAUNCH PLANNED FOR NEXT WEEK!
M-F 8am-10:30am EDT
Bets are on Thursday, 4/20, as Elon’s joke.
Also, this is Ship-24 atop Booster-7,
so I anticipate some “SpaceX Launches 24/7” jokes.

April Fools Day…
…came and went, this year,
without us noticing any difference
______What’s special about today’s date, 3/24/23?
It’s the fifth of ten straight date palindromes (3/20/23-3/29/23),
using appropriate formatting.
Not only is that fact obscure, it’s totally unimportant.
Well, except to some numerology-heavy cult, mebbe.
However, that does not mean we shouldn’t start preparing now
for the next one — April 20th of ’24,
so I’m assigning Veeshir to head-up that effort.
I’m sure he won’t let us down.
