Oh, and thanks for the link to the drone footage. Absolutely gorgeous in 4k.

I updated the OP with the current target for the next launch (2/28 late night), but I'm gonna be floored if they actually turn the pad around in 8 days with a brand new system in place.

I'm hoping they do, but mainly because I want to see the SES-10 launch happen as quickly as possible. I really want that to happen in March and not slip to April. A quick turnaround for Echostar 23 would be a good sign.

Kind of odd. Sounds like there's some sort of software issue that is easily corrected, but has resulted in a 24-hour delay. Not ideal, but glad it can be fixed easily. |

Echostar 23 now Mar 12. Hoping SES-10 doesn't slip to April.

They really need to get SLC-40 back up and running in a hurry so they can truck through all of these launches. |

I absolutely love the fact that the landing of the booster has become routine.
Heck, we're almost at the point where the launches are routine. |

At this point, I'm mostly excited to see them re-launch one. That should happen in late-March or early-April. (Oh, and Falcon Heavy is gonna be a sight to see too, but I'll honestly be surprised to see that happen in 2017.) |
