Kind of crazy if we have two launches in a row that hold but still go. We haven't had many launches with long windows recently.

Early morning launch bump. T-30 minutes or so.

Cool views of boost back from the tracking camera. Fairly mundane aside from that, especially because they didn't cover the second stage at all (classified mission).

Interesting. Managed to get the package in orbit and do a booster land landing, eh?

What's the opinion on alternatives to rockets to get to space? Was reading some things about interesting alternatives:

Have we heard if SN9 is another hop?

Yes, the speculation is that it will replicate the SN8 flight hopefully sans the RUD. Could be within a few weeks, but nothing confirmed. They'll do a pressure test and static fire first, of course.
