"Imagine you had $6 million in cash on a pallet flying through the air that's just going to smash into the ocean. Would you try to recover that? Yes, you would." - Elon Musk, in 2017.

An interesting upgrade

Raptor 3 246 heading past at McGregor, a new R3 record! Interestingly there is another module on the side of the engine which (to my knowledge) we haven't seen installed on R3's out at McGregor!

The launches have gone quiet, but the airspace remains busy - the first A in NASA is Aeronautics, after all...

@NASAAdmin's Northrop F-5 jets were in the air today - also joined by a @NASA Airbus H135 which was inspecting the vicinity of LC-39A.

NASA has awarded SpaceX three additional missions through a contract modification.

"As part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract, this change brings the total missions for SpaceX to 17 and helps NASA to maintain access to the space station with two unique commercial crew industry partners."
