I'm tempted to take my Starlink hardware with me on upcoming "boondocks" off-grid camping trip, so I can connect to YouTube and watch. Pretty cool now that Starlink offers portability on a month-to-month basis.

Let us know how that works out! What a cool feature.

Yes, but I think it is 4-15 whose booster lands in the Bahamas. I know, too many Starlink launches to keep track of!

Ha! Of course you're right. It would be a huge accomplishment to land a booster in the Atlantic if it was launched from the West Coast!
