SpaceX really has it dialed in.

For the short time they've been at it, their progress has been remarkable.

Our progress, when we really put our minds to something, is something to behold.

To quote MiB: "1,500 years everybody KNEW the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody KNEW, the earth was flat. 15 minutes ago you KNEW people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

Looks like SpaceX is not going to be expanding their Boca Chica ops anytime soon:

No, Boca Chica was a bad choice from the beginning and they've been doubling down on wishful thinking ever since. The last message from Elon on the subject was that if approvals didn't materialize then Boca Chica would continue as a R&D site and main production and flight operations would move to the cape. That's already underway.

The Corps of Engineers response only prevents expansion. The FAA can still approve a limited flight schedule with existing infrastructure. If that doesn't happen then there would be a delay of six months to a year in Starship development as they move everything to the cape, but I'm betting that they'll get the FAA's OK for limited operations based on what they've already proposed.

Yes, you need to show that you are capable of understanding and evaluating risk associated.

And can handle big loses without (too) negatively impacting your overall wealth.

They absolutely have the Falcon platform dialed in. I can't wait to see Starship reach this level of reliability.

This is best watched in full screen:

Is it just me or do those things land more smoothly than they used to? Seem to just barely drop onto the pad.

This will never get old. I am glad I lived in the same era as Elon Musk.

I just wish he'd keep building interesting actual things instead of letting his attention get distracted with unproductive things like owning Twitter... :doh:
