If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

LOL.  "Something went wrong.  Try reloading."

Just checked and I'm getting that on every twitter feed I click on.

SpaceX is desperate to make it look like they're making progress on anything and NASA has no incentive to stop free construction on their property.

But yeah NASA isn't going to let them use it for years so all this does is make the Cape's skyline extremely awkward 🤷‍♂️

"SpaceX is desperate" Guess Jeff posts under the name Sonic Wind now

May be getting ready to move B7.
New (right side?) actuator being installed on the chopsticks. Old one was actually removed before the test for servicing which would explain why they haven't moved the chop sticks. Also heard that explaines why the right stick swung sort of freely during the "incident"
Booster transporter also seen headed to the pad.

Note new Raptor 2s arriving

SpaceX should have over 60 orbital launches by year's end and that includes some up and coming Falcon heavy and more manned Dragon launches.

Yeah, they're "desperate to make it look like they're making progress on anything"

Scheduled for Jul 17, 2022  SpaceX is targeting Sunday, July 17 for a Falcon 9 launch of 53 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 10:20 a.m. ET (14:20 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on Monday, July 18 at 10:28 a.m. ET (14:28 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Dragon’s first crew demonstration mission, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, SXM-7, and nine Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.

At time of posting road closure is in effect, pad is clear, and the tank farm is active. Could mean S24 testing

Scratch the pad is clear comment. Just noticed some two legged bags of mostly water activity in the pad area.

No over pressure notice so that means no static fires.
No sure if that can change later as in can they issue one later?

I tried to help. I signed up for starlink and paid my deposit today. Might get it sometime early next year. After 27 years of living in the boonies with no tv and no home interwebs.
