First look at Of Course I Still Love You droneship's new tapered wings (They match the design of ASOG now)

Previously the wings were squared off on the corners

...also successful landing of the booster

Congratulations to SpaceX on yet another successful mission!

5 launches in 19 days would extrapolate to 96 launches this year. A very long way to go, but SpaceX have started the year at the rate they need to maintain all year to get near the 100 launch target.

Finally some launch photos! This launch seems almost unique for SpaceX in the near total absence of launch photographs.
