The launch tempo of SpaceX remains amazing.
Yeah,
on Monday, they launched within hours and
landed both boosters near each other.
Overtime for the launch-pad and landing-pad sweep-up crew.
The better half and I watch them almost every time they go up and the weather/timing cooperates. We saw the Falcon 9 launch a week and a half ago, then saw the “train” of 21 Starlinks go over the next night. Absolutely incredible stuff. Last night’s launch was special in that they sent it up at a much steeper angle and we watched it until second stage cut-off. The sunlight lit up the exhaust plume all the way up. 😎
