Is this the end of SpaceX?

 =D
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Great landing shots of the booster, plus double triple sonic boom.
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.

Save us SpaceX, you're our only hope

With the Soyuz capsule that sprung a leak (a few posts up) feared not to flightworthy anymore and the ISS now left without a lifeboat for the Russians on board NASA is looking to SpaceX to, possibly as one option, send up a Crew Dragon or figure out how best to pack in more crew in the currently docked CD to take it's place.

First launch of Booster 7 and Starship 24 is slated for Jan. 31 according to the Port Isabel Press on South Padre Island.
Reading the story, I wonder just how accurate it is.  There is nothing on the SpaceX site about the launch, nor is any other source that I can find reporting this.

Yeah I'm waiting to see more concrete info on that.
B7 is suppose to roll back out today.

Meanwhile we got a F9 Heavy launch this week, maybe.

We have a real shot at late February.  March launch attempt appears highly likely.
