Today’s Starship test flight is a great teachable moment. This was not failure. It was an advanced learning opportunity to find out what’s working and what needs upgrading to eventually reach full operational status. Congrats to the SpaceX team for today’s test!

Mike@Fox29 T Corona Borealis is a star that erupts periodically as a recurring nova. It was last seen in 1946. Current behavior of the star suggests it could erupt again soon - maybe this summer. If it does blaze, it will be visible in the night sky without a telescope.

Mike@Fox29 The ‘stuck’ astros on Space Station have loved racking up the extra space hours! What? You don’t love me anymore? Long time, no see!
