Seriously though, today it is pretty rare when humans get injured on the job. I never saw anyone die at the places I worked at, nor did we ever need an ambulance.

My (primary career) workplace had 3 murders and at least one contractor accidental death that I know of.

I was personally threatened with assault more than once by fellow employees, one of them an institution law enforcement officer.

After a few drinks, you might not believe but I just told a Harley Davidson motorbike club to visit the telescopes in Atacama desert in Chile. Don’t worry, they are just curious. Happy New Year.

I just completed a 30 year stretch in a century old chemical plant where we handled phosphorous a great deal. Not long after I started we had an incident where a guy failed to follow procedures and was reprimanded by his supervisor who then also failed to follow procedures. This resulted in his being sprayed with molten phosphorous from a pressurized hose. It ended badly enough that no one has since neglected the rule book.

We use to worry about Willie Peter artillery rounds more that the HE ones. At least shrapnel didn't burn it's way through.

My late father-in-law was a MASH doctor in Vietnam. As a cautionary tale about my then new job, he told me much the same thing.

… when this party thread was started, in March  2017 SpaceX was poised to launch SES10 which was to be the first relaunched Falcon 9 booster.
Over 3200 days later (not quite 9 years), SpaceX shows on their missions page state of  519 reflights, 556 landings and 596 total launches (aside: some happened before this party thread which I am coining the acronym BTPT and suggest we verbalize it as bitty-pitty).
 Any guesses as to Starship and total stats we might see 9-ish years from now?

Launches, landings, trips to Mars, And most importantly… will we have a new party thread by then, or will this one still be open??

I made a very rudimentary attempt to extrapolate the great circle path, based on the danger zone map. Are they targeting Manhattan? ;-)

No, either Bedford Falls, NY
Grover's Corners, NH
or Dick and Joanna Loudon's Vermont bed & breakfast.

We'll still be here. I hope I'm 72 by then. Also expect to be counting reuse on Mars and trying to talk the wife into a vacation there. Might work when she learns that I'll weigh about the same on Mars as I did when we met.

Chris just asked CAPCOM if a series of warnings received on Cargo Dragon today had been cleared/explained.  CAPCOM replied that Crew 12 was doing a ground test today and somehow telemetry streams were crossed...

That's hilarious 😂 , bet he was like wth lol
