- ALERT🚨 A rare event will occur tonight, visible to much of SW USA and NW Mexico! A 'Twilight Effect' is possible with tonight's launch of SpaceX Starlink Mission 15-9! Current T-0 is set for 8:36 p.m. PT (0336 UTC) You won't want to miss this event! Below is an interactive
- My leading theory to why Starship 34 failed is that the failure stems from the modification to the booster's backflip. Opposed to previous flights where the boosters exhaust did NOT impact the ship like Flight 8's. You can even make out how violent this interaction was (1/n)

- Starship Flight 09 NTM seems to be significantly shorter in length than previous flights. (Green is FLT-3) This may suggest 1 of 2 things, or both. Either booster separation will be performed at a lower speed (unlikely) or there is a major trajectory modification.
- SpaceX has selected Oceanside, CA as the targeted Splashdown location for Fram2's return! If you are located along the coastline from San Diego to Long Beach and inland exect a quick, faint clap of thunder-like sonic boom around 9:15 a.m PT! More info: spacex.com/launches/missi…
Nearly four days after the @framonauts launched to a polar orbit, Dragon and the Fram2 crew are set to return to Earth on Friday, April 4 → spacex.com/launches/missi… - ALERT🚨 NASA/SpaceX CRS-32 is returning to SoCal tonight!
