Here's a photo from the north VAFB "gravel pit" area.  Beautiful day.  Great sound from the 9 engines.

Is there a dial-in number for this? Hopefully someone will record it.

LEO is the ocean, not an island (let alone a continent). We create cruise liners to ride the oceans, not artificial islands in the middle of them. We need a physical place, which has physical resources, to make our future out there.

We'll be looking for TLEs from 12 objects:
  Falcon 9 stage 2, CASSIOPE, DANDE, two CUSATs, three POPACS spheres, and four POPACS deployer parts.
Eventually a thirteenth when DANDE jettisons its adapter on day 14.

I'm not clear when the two CUSats are intended to separate.

Musk: attempted relight of upper stage, encountered anomaly. Understand what it is and will fix before next flight. #falcon9

Musk: Lower stage 3-engine relight went well, reentered. Single-engine relight went well, but exceeded roll control of ACS. #falcon9

Musk: rolling "centrifuged" propellant, shut down engine early. Did recover "portions" of 1st stage after splashdown. #falcon9

Musk: despite that, we have all the pieces in place to accomplish recovery of stages in the future, "full and rapid reusability" of stage.

Re-light is a must for the SES flight. Wonder if this will delay it.

Is it? Can't they work out a trajectory with a longer burn of the second stage?
