I know this is getting routine for SpaceX, but it feels like it has been awhile since they had a launch and deserves more excitement. Must just be the diehards.
Yeah, the manifest for the next 2 months should be awesome. DM-1, IFA, and 2 FH launches should all be exciting. EDIT: Oops, IFA isn't until June. Oh well, still some exciting launches.

Those in the Rolla area, or who travel through on I-44, have you ever noticed this piece of space program history?

Some of the comments in that thread are hilarious.

With a slight asterisk that, if the first one doesn't go perfectly, the second one will be delayed. It sounds like they're basically planning to just make one of each of the boosters for FH and just replace them if one doesn't land properly. So if all goes well, they'll clean them up and launch again quickly. But if any of the three isn't recovered intact, there will be a lengthy delay while they make another one.

Lots of tidbits in that Twitter thread fwiw. They're pretty much counting on the booster getting destroyed, which is why they want to use this one that's been up 3 times already. |

Both are NET dates, so will probably slip, but I'm hopeful they'll be close! Arabsat-6A on March 6th and STP-2 on April 29th.

FYI, Space Launch Now is a cool app (Android, not sure about iPhone) for keeping up to date on launch schedules from multiple agencies. Links to live streams and details about missions/vehicles too.

Watching the briefing, there are 3 launch windows for DM-1, prior to the next Soyuz, March 2nd, 5th, and 9th.
