Stuff That’s Hard to Do

December 30, 2023

Final Week of the Year Salvo
SpaceX won’t quite make their goal of 100 Falcon launches in 2023,
but 96(?) is pretty danged close

Thursday Night Twofer from the Cape:
• Falcon Heavy, USSF X-37B Spaceplane
• Falcon9, Starlink

    RIP, B1058 – you were a real trooper. You brought Manned Spaceflight back to the US, but the Old Man of the Sea decided to wreck you.

      Yep,
      a record 19 successful launches/landings,
      heading home to a hero’s welcome and retirement,
      then…
      (stupid waves)

        I think it’s hilarious they found the mean time to failure through the booster falling over.

      Also:
      could’a been worse

        Yep. TPTB in China don’t give A Rats Ass about the General Populace.
        Their collapse as a Great Nation is already starting, too!

          China’s about to collapse?

          Oh, noes!

          Wherever will we buy counterfeit auto parts and firetrap appliances??

    Two boosters touching down at the same time still gives me goosebumps. I can’t believe I’ve lived long enough to witness Saturn 5 and now this.

      Yeah,
      not to mention three landings within three hours
