It's not much, but I'm here for FH news any day.

Sounds like they are going to try Starlink 12 again tomorrow at 7:29am EDT

Fifth time was the charm!

Caught another fairing half, too. It's not nearly as cool as the booster, but pretty nifty that they're starting to figure this out a bit.

I loved how, just prior to deploying the payload, the earth's horizon started to become visible like a thumbnail. Perfect timing for that effect...

I think that once the two stages separate, they should have telemetry for both stages. I'd like to see the altitude and speed for the first stage coming down.

Its imperfect, but Tim Dodd's streams have started adding simulated trajectory for the first stage (from FlightClub.io). It's a nice touch, even though it's just based on their rough modeling.

Slight delay to Crew-1. Sounds like whatever caused the abort for the GPS-III launch has them a little nervous, so they're thoroughly checking it out.

The military wants to use the starship for point to point deliveries on Earth:

That was awesome. Thank you for starting the video just before the launch...

That drone footage was incredible. Hey Musk!? Bezos has you beat!!
