    That satellite stack reminds me of a NY corner newspaper stall, packed and packed to the gills with all different bric-a-brac- something for everyone!

    I counted 141 spacecraft, and I think that's ignoring the transfer vehicle / space tugs. Anybody else count?

    Like - wow.

    Good launch, MECO, separation, first stage landing, SECO, and orbit. An hour before another second stage burn. The various deployments should be a lot of fun to watch.

    All customers deployments were successful. Not much to see visually. Waiting on the 10 Starlinks..

    I slept in and got up just in time to "see" (mostly hear) the first deployments. I mentioned how complex this mission was to my wife and her comment was "Yeah, well, the government was never the right way to do space in the first place". Truth.
