Return to flight x3 ...... 2 launches from Florida and 1 from Vandenberg. "The cause of the leak was identified as a crack in a sense line for a pressure sensor attached to the vehicle’s oxygen system. This line cracked due to fatigue caused by high loading from engine vibration and looseness in the clamp that normally constrains the line." https://www.spacex.com/updates/#falcon-9-returns-to-flight .

SpaceX Drains Air From Spacecraft While Astronauts Are Inside (msn.com) What a ****ing idiot reporter, calling the spacewalk a stunt. Not just once but multiple times in the article.
Watched the entire space walk this morning with excellent commentary by the Space X team…..explaining the process. This reporter is an idiot. Again…..anything Musk or Trump related is going to get this treatment on MSDNC. NASA and the FAA should be ashamed to say anything anymore. They are just risk free government hacks with tenured paychecks.
Falcon Heavy Launch - Monday, Oct. 14 at 12:05 p.m. ET Europa Clipper Mission https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=europa-clipper .
Successful deployment of spacecraft ..... all 3 boosters were expended. Maximum performance necessary meant no extra fuel left for return. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Had no idea that SpaceX also recovers fairings for reuse. Boeing (including McDonnell) and Lockheed spent over 5 decades fleecing the US taxpayer and inhibiting space exploration.
Falcon Heavy/ Europa Clipper ...... note the 2 used/burned side boosters and the clean, new center booster . Image Unavailable, Please Login .
John Kraus X; "SpaceX’s last ~40 hours: - launch of history’s largest and most powerful rocket, Starship, completing the first-ever midair catch of a rocket booster and an on-target ocean landing of the upper stage - launch of Falcon Heavy with an interplanetary NASA spacecraft headed to one of Jupiter’s moons, achieving a new Falcon vehicle velocity record - two Falcon 9 launches of dozens of Starlink satellites; one from Florida, one from California That’s four launches of three different rockets (Starship/FH/F9) from four unique launch sites in three U.S. states — in ~40 hours. Insanity."
" note the 2 used/burned side boosters " ***** Used previously 6 (?) times...boosters .expended on this flight because all fuel needed for launch.
