![]() Not terribly worried about it. They'll have it when they need it. Aside from Starship, tomorrow is the first launch of Cargo Dragon V2. Won't be as exciting as when there's crew on board, but should still be fun.

Cool. Two Dragons docked with the ISS. Is that a first?

The big question to me is what happens if they push it too far. The flight leader is up to 7 launches, and even Elon has noted that it's slightly riskier at this point. If a booster pops at launch #10, will people say "eh, that's to be expected at some point" or will they start to put more scrutiny on used boosters in general? Time will tell. |

True. Musk did say the current block 5 boosters are intended to be good for 10+ launches prior to needing any major refurbishment, but I can see the prudence with only launching humans on 0-3 prior flight boosters for the time being. Maybe once they have a couple boosters at 10+ flights, let humans fly 0-6. No harm in acquiring more data. With Starlink launches I expect they'll hit 10 surprisingly soon.
On the flip side, if a flight 0 fails, will astronauts (and public perception) start to prefer proven a proven booster?
