Stunning launch this morning by @SpaceX! Starlink-12 (L 13) launched on its 5th attempt. B1058 flew for its 3rd time and successfully landed. Congrats on your successful mission!

Does this include metro Detroit/Ann Arbor Michigan or is that too far south?

Deployment of 60 Starlink satellites confirmed

@elonmusk · Oct 6, 2020
Once these satellites reach their target position, we will be able to roll out a fairly wide public beta in northern US & hopefully southern Canada. Other countries to follow as soon as we receive regulatory approval.

We’re not seeing notable differences yet. I think the boosters could probably do 100+ reflights. Some of the (small) composite helium tanks would need to be replaced. Maybe turbopump hot sections.

There's been a significant reduction in the turnaround time of Falcon 9, which is a pretty significant implication for re-use. I know it's still a long way off, but could we see that 24hr turnaround time of Falcon 9 soon?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 6, 2020
Roughly a week or two turnaround is all that’s needed to meet max launch demand. Starship Super Heavy is designed for reflight in less than an hour.

Ahem, yes, it was the 3rd flight of this booster & 3rd flight for active half of fairing. Aiming for 10+ flights of booster & fairing by end of next year.

So crazy to subsidize pollution! This is not good for people, especially in dense cities with heavy traffic, where your air intake is jammed up against another car’s exhaust pipe.

Russia has clearly decided that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em with its new design for a reusable booster. Alas, no flights until at least 2026 means it will be at least 15 years behind the Falcon 9. Russia is lucky SpaceX doesn't innovate, hah.

It’s a step in the right direction, but they should really aim for full reusability by 2026. Larger rocket would also make sense for literal economies of scale. Goal should be to minimize cost per useful ton to orbit or it will at best serve a niche market.

The remake has the potential to be great. I kinda liked the original tbh, but it’s possible to take it up a level.
