So is the CCC also going to try to regulate thunder? Per wikipedia the db level is the same.

I was unclear in my question. I was meaning the camera was mounted externally so the view was from outside the spacecraft. There are views of the plasma from inside Dragon capsules.

Was this the first ever external video of reentry plasma? Pretty amazing.

Ah. I see that my post left out, only those that launch from FLA.

Don't all Falcon 9 boosters that come back to FLA have to fly back (boostback) westward?

Just cleaned off the goo that had leaked into the cubby under the screen. Was fairly easy to remove with 70% rubbing alcohol. I have been using reflextix (sp) to block the heat from the sun on the dash. Will see if I get any more leakage this summer.

Maybe cold gas thrusters, similar to those used for steering on the falcon nine, positioned around the perimeter of the engine bay could create enough acceleration to settle the liquids.

There is also spacexnow.com has potential launch dates and other data for weeks out (subject to change by spacex)

You don't need a Twitter account to watch it on spacex.com.

I watched the last launch on Spacex.com and I assume Starship 2 will air on their website too. I don't care to listen to the motor mouths on SFN. The last launch, SES 03B is still viewable on the website.

Thanks.

Is there a way to tell, without going there, how many chargers at each location have the magic dock?

I was parked in the sun two days ago and my screen leaked a little. How is you fix holding up?

Water cooled steel plate below the orbital mount seems like a possible remedy to me. I have no expertise in this field but if the steel plate was dome shaped it seems that less energy would reflect back towards the base of the rocket.

After watching some of the various videos of the launch my theory (NSWAGs) is that multiple engines were damaged by flying debris on lift off. In some of the videos large splashes can be seen in the ocean and in the inland estuaries. Significant chunks were probably bouncing off the inside of...
