Huh. The 'stick' that pushes off the upper stage apparently gets retracted. Entry burn looked nice. Aww... lost stage one video. Soggy deck. Landing good!

Pop out the waffles. Nice view of fairing sep.

You can see the rocket wobbling back and forth slightly in the closeups of the fairing, if you look closely. Liftoff

Water tower is taking a whiz

Starlink launch feed is live! Let's go with getting more Starlink satellites up there so I can get Starlink Internet! T minus 10 minutes. 4th launch for this booster... it practically still has that new rocket smell. Fairing halves are being reused for 5th and 4th times.

I'm very happy to see that the tensioning is going well, since it was the step I was most worried about.- 652 replies

Given the number of U.S. taxpayers, and if we split the cost evenly, I apparently have about $70 riding on this launch. Seems like a lot more.- 652 replies

MECO. Stage 2 good. Interesting exhaust streaming past first stage as the grid fins deploy. Are they doing the first stage turnaround differently (slowly) nowadays? First stage entry burn good. First stage is on the ship!

SpaceX launch coverage is live. But no need to get too excited yet... launch is in 4 hours and 15 minutes.
