Successful deploy, so 100% mission success!
(Webcast was a little iffy this time, though. Oh well. Can't complain.) |

And who knows about reusing this one again. If I had to put money on it, I'd say no since they'll probably want to learn what they can by examining any additional stress damage, but who knows? |

OP is updated for the next launch. However, it's a national security launch that is classified, so we'll have to see what (if any) coverage we get of it. My guess is that it will be a pruned down webcast at least.

Is Blue Origin fading out? Their site's last news seems to be from October.

The men and women who have made this happen are freakin superstars... Like I tell "the bosses" (mostly people older than me!!!!), "Leave the kids alone! They're weird, just like you, but they're everything you ever wanted to be, and more!" This is confirmation... |
