So...this seems a little crazy to say, but the next launch on the calendar is...
Falcon Heavy. (Though it's certainly possible that another launch will leap frog it if it gets delayed.) |

It didn't seem to add up, honestly. After the re-entry burn ended, the speed was decreasing rapidly. Why? I get the atmosphere is getting thicker but it was sloughing off speed like crazy well beyond the landing burn.

Yeah, I wrote that. But it just seemed wrong. Way too much. Gravity wins.

I'm really looking forward to that one. I can watch these launches from my front yard.

Actually, now that I think about the velocity thing, it's both a vertical and horizontal velocity, so conceivably it's already basically falling at terminal velocity, but it's losing horizontal velocity?

The graphic showed "speed" and "altitude." But yes, maybe? Love it.
