Hey, all!

A couple weeks ago after the Paz/Starlink launch from Vandy, I went back on the Daily Planet show on Discovery Canada to discuss the fairing recovery attempt and SpaceX's plans for space-based internet. Take a look.

Nice interview and overall very cool. Makes me very excited for the Iridiium mission to see what should be attempt number 2.

Perhaps i'm miss-remembering, but I thought we didn't get a chance to see the SpaceX satellites separate due to being out of ranges of the earth based trackers... so i'm happy to see that footage...

I think this is all they showed for it?

Awesome work again Chris!

Great Job, Chris!

One note though... When reporting on SpaceX, you probably should not wear a SpaceX shirt, as this makes it seem like you are either A) working for SpaceX or B) doing a paid promotion for SpaceX.

NSF should get him a few NSF shirts with the updated logo.
