With so much going on, two good things have crossed my desk in the last few days. First up, here's Tuesday's launch of a Falcon 9 ISS resupply ship. The entire video is 22 minutes, but the good part is all in the first 10. Watch for the booster's beautiful landing, starting around minute 7. Go full-screen to watch.
Additional commentary at The Silicon Graybeard's blog about the unusual partnership between SpaceX and Northrop-Grumman for this flight.
Next up, over at Lawdog's blog, Cedar recounts an encounter with a pollster pushing for solar power-friendly results. Her response: Nuclear Power or Bust! Smart. Go & read.
Some of those images of the Falcon 9's landing look like something out of a sci-fi movie, but nope. This is real life. There are good things in 2024, as much as we may have to look around for them.
ps: Back to the Falcon 9, here are some screen grabs of the booster landing. Just.... wow.
And that is how it is done.
