This is way cool.

U.S. Navy

How bad a condition is it in?  Is it getting better or worse?  Thoughts of someone keeping an eye on this.

A really good video.

Thought provoking

Congratulations to SpaceX

SpaceX launched their first ever Superheavy/Starship combo.  While the flight wasn’t a complete success, it was an amazing achievement.  As they’ve proven before, they will look at the data and revise and improve.  Can’t wait for the next one. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger who would have loved it.)

I love this aircraft.

Good On Virgin Orbit

Even though it ultimately failed to achieve the intended orbit, good on Virgin Orbit for the first space launch from British soil.  Story here. (Post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)
