On a brighter note, USA Spaceflight program got a boost this morning with the giant SpaceX Starship actually making it into orbit! It also successfully deployed 26 more Star Link Satellites and it appears the Starship will successfully splash down near Hawaii as planned, even if only after 2 orbits instead of 6. It flew for a little over 3 hours. The Booster also operated as scheduled, splashing into the Gulf after simulating moves for a Gantry catch.
This technology of actually catching a spacecraft is wildly amazing feats. It is planned to have Flight 15 catch the Booster and perhaps capture an returning orbital spacecraft. Pure scifi come to life type of events.
Some amazing video from SpaceX this morning. They hope to perform Flight 15 launch with similar program mission on the end of October or early November but they often get delayed.
Stay tuned for updates on Platte County and the controversies swarming around. We want to avoid rumors and inform with the facts. That can be difficult. So I may not be posting more this week. I am looking forward to catching up with old high school classmates as our 50th reunion meets this next weekend. A wonderful way to usher in Fall, but I will likely have to listen to the Chiefs game on the radio driving home Sunday.
Until next time, have a great Monday and a profitable week!
