Interestingly, mini-Starlink equipment is available at the Home Depot near me.

Now it has me thinking with the new house build and all that.

I've a friend who lives near Eager, AZ. You can look it up and see how remote it is. He's even more remote than that. Starlink is the only way he can access the Internet.

Some serious drama this morning. RVAC engine went out on ship on ascent. They were 50/50 on orbital insertion. They decided to go ahead on insertion and ship is now IN ORBIT for the first time ever. Major milestone!

Booster performed fairly well. One engine out on ascent, 2 out on boostback, but looked like it performed a successful soft splashdown in the Gulf.
