Thank you, NSF webcasters!
Thank you, FST, for today's launch thread coverage!

Congratulations to SpaceX on the 20th successful mission of the year so far!

That makes a record equaling 7 so far this month, with a week left to break the record.
Support your local planetarium! (COVID-panic and forward: Now more than ever.) My current avatar is saying "i wants to go uppies!" Yes, there are God-given rights. Do you wish to gainsay the Declaration of Independence?

There’s Starlink 5-10 and Tranche-0 F1 to make nine altogether for this March.

Comparing SpaceX's launch rate with other countries/companies I noticed that China, Russia, and Rocketlab have a combined total of 20 launches so far in 2023. The rest of the world has a total of only 6 launch attempts - with only two of those successful.

Any info on the number of flights for each fairing halves used yesterday?  :)

I seem to recall being mentioned that one was on it's sixth flight and the other on it's seventh flight.

A magnificent plume was created today as Falcon 9 headed south-east over the Atlantic on its way to orbit

Doug and SpaceX droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas heading the wrong way offshore of Cape Canaveral. The Port is the other direction! Likely waiting for port resources to be available to facilitate their arrival.
