Nice thing is, I can watch the launch and go back to bed.

*yawn* - Now looks like Oontz at 6:45 AM.

... Whar Ooontz?

Now looks like it's set for 6:59 AM.

Oontz.

Two minute warning.

LIFTOFF!!  And Awaaaaay we Go!

Max-Q, and we're still good.

MECO, Second Stage cut loose, Mvac Start, and Fairing Jettison.

Nominal Trajectories.

There's the Entry Burn.

And yet another successful landing!  GREAT Dismount!

Looks like they pretty much dead-centered it.

SECO-1.  Nominal Orbit Insertion.

Here's the updated list of successful SpaceX Missions. I've realigned the dates and order for upcoming flights. Last year was a record, with Thirty-One missions.There are currently 53 listed so far for this year, with probably more Starlink missions to come! We can count on some of these slipping into 2023 or later, for any one of myriad reasons, but 2022 looks like another record year.  SpaceX's launch cadence is about one launch every 6.5 days so far; we'll see if they can maintain that rate.

Current launch cadence is one mission every 6.5 days.  Dayum, these guys are *cookin'*!

See y'all tomorrow for the Starliner Show!

The Bestest: Admittedly, Falcon launches.. or at least Starlink missions, have become pedestrian and uninteresting to me despite that fact that, as routine as they are, they're still an amazing technological accomplishment.

I'll be here tomorrow to see if Boeing continues being Boeing, though.

Even so, at this point, the guys in the factory building Mvac engines and Falcon second stages have to be very happy with their steady gigs.  That's gotta be some the most secure work there is in rocket manufacturing now.
