Good to hear that the roadster will not be ‘driving us’ to war. So when found
by some other civilization they are going to see a cool ride and wonder why we
sent this into space. They will not come across the info on the Voyagers but
will find this. LOL. They’ll be amazed at the electrical car and wonder why we
didn’t use a gasoline engine because it works so much better.
I’ve seen that video though the link that James sent. So weird it looks CG.
And, saw some more info on the news last night about the latest SpaceX launch.
This is also pretty weird and smells so bad of misinformation. They can’t even
divulge how much the satellite cost but can say it failed and landed in the
Indian Ocean? I think it would be worth it just to release info that a new
stealth satellite has been deployed and have Russia and China wondering where
it was. Yeah, lots more productive and even entertaining.

Hey Richard, I suspect there is some 10 year evolution of MKV-L & SM-3 tech
into miniaturized space-based launch stations ..

True about maiden flights using boilerplates (mass simulators). I think the
first Falcon 9 to orbit wasn’t a scientific payload. Still think the F9H
could have incorporated some kind of scientific payload. Lots of university
engineering teams would jump at the chance. And, how about reentry test
designs?
It’s cool. It’s his company. Hopefully the car won’t reenter over North
Korea.

5 or 6 years ago there were F9H launches on the VAFB schedule.

So, no news yet from David Reese about attending the launch this weekend?
I don’t track social media; has anyone heard anything from David recently?
Speaking of news (because multiple topic posts and going way off topic
seem to be fine now days), I saw the release that the spy satellite
mission launch on Sunday failed. I wonder about these kinds of press
releases for secret missions. Like, hey North Korea and Iran, don’t worry
about what’s up there, because it fell in the ocean. Hum…
Anyway, does the Falcon Heavy schedule seem to be going well? I was
thinking that Allen might be at the launch because of the space clock
project payload. I can’t wait to see video of that launch and the 3
boosters returning. At least I think they are landing all of them this
time - and not on a barge. Correct?
Also, wondering if Falcon Heavy launches are possible from Vandenberg.
That would be worth a road trip, even if when there’s a risk of delay or
scrub.
