Your wife works for SpaceX? Do you ever get to see her?

There is a—um, period—each month that Elon no longer requires her services.

Otherwise, I’m relegated to the cuck chair.

(Just kidding). She works a fair amount but it ain’t that bad. Days and nights like today make it pretty special.

How did you get the C word through filters? Teach me master

Are you willing to dress the part? :hmmm:

No dual side booster landing from falcon heavy today. Every last bit of fuel/propulsion is needed to get clipper to its required orbit to achieve earth gravity assist.

We're spoiled with the visuals SpaceX gets from Starlink. What do you mean we don't have a steady 4K stream from deep space? :deevee:

Separation confirmed! This has to be SpaceX's highest-profile launch yet, right? Or at least I can't remember anything anywhere close to a $5 BILLION cost before.

AOS!
