That makes 2 FH cores tested at McGregor. The "Leaning Tower of Thaicom 8" was already test fired. FH maiden flight will be using 2 previously flown cores.

Should be on track for a launch tomorrow night. It's interesting in that it's the heaviest payload to date (it was originally supposed to be a Falcon Heavy launch), but there won't be a landing attempt, so the webcast won't be as fun to watch.
I will most likely be in mid-flight at the time so I will probably miss it, unfortunately. |

I haven't had much chance to watch any of these so this is great. Amazing what mankind has accomplished.

Another successful (albeit boring) launch. Here's hoping that they get the Heavy going here soon to spice things up a bit.

I was hoping we'd see it burning up in the atmosphere or something (I assume that's the fairing), but it's definitely a cool view.
I want them to release the video of the booster burning up. Based on the crowd reactions on the live stream, I'm almost sure that's what they were looking at. |
