Last night sussed

Was up a bit too late working with the Techsupport team (they worked, I answered questions as needed,,,, but I had to be up to answer questions)

Full day at the shop, TOO MUCH COFFEE, as I said when talkin’ to bruddaB, “This crash is gonna leave scars!” and hoo-boy, am I crashin’ now,,,

Watching the launch of SpaceX flight 11. T-minus16m currently so I theres a few minutes yet,,,, This is the last scheduled flight of 2025, I believe they have a few right around the first of ’26, not sure but then, the way these things, go, there is quite a bit of GOV involved as well, so, with the shutdown, who knows.

If you aren’t a “fan”, flight 11 is intended to test ALL of the abilities of Booster and Starship. Booster should return to pad within 7 minutes of GO,, And watching it land on its pad is ALWAYS amazing to me: shit right out of 1950s sci-fi movies/shows. SEEING it, (and one day I will make it to Boca Chica and see it IRL). Starship is scheduled to circumnavigate the globe and return to pad in Boca Chica as well. Along with all the LEO tests they have planned, (I believe another test of the PEZ launcher among some others.)(and I just found out that Booster will NOT be returning to pad, instead doing a splash landing (and they blow the poor thing so its not a floating hazard for boats)(Totally disappointed,,,, They’re planning on an Indian Ocean splashdown again. REALLY wanna see the pad landings,,, Those are were I think they will show progress,,, Not my circus, not my monkeys though,,,)

I watch because EACH success is another step OFF THIS FRELLIN’ ROCK. I likely won’t be one of those persons, but Knowing that there is a chance,,,,

YEah,,,,

More tomorrow after I get over the road rash from my current crash,,,,
