SpaceX F9 : Starlink v1.0 L10, Rideshare : August 18, 2020

Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief are nice fast ships and with 2 ASDS a 10 day cycle between SpaceX flights seems possible.

Very cool to see how efficient SpaceX is getting with Starlink flights.

Apart from the obvious transsonic vapor cone, interesting to observe some pretty obvious yaw steering of the 2nd stage, if you compare it to the S1 and fairings ballistic trajectories.

Aloha, welcome back from the Atlantic Ocean, GO Ms. Chief and GO. Ms. Tree, with fairings scooped/caught from space 💫 100% worth the 3:30 AM wake up call😎

Pay heed, a twice used #Falcon9 fairing rolls into @PortCanaveral after safely landing in Ms. Tree's net☑️
Wonder if it'll go for a third🚀 (so far: fourth + eleventh Starlink)

And they have the lifting cap already over the booster. Very speedy processing here.

Octagrabber is disconnected from the booster, looks like they are going to put it on the stand before retracting the legs. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX
