A Space X rocket booster was towed into Port Canaveral after landing August 31 on its floating barge. The floating parade came into port while I was sipping coffee before reporting to work as a check-in “embark” agent for a major Cruise Line.
The space action began in Florida with the stunning predawn launch of SpaceX’s Starlink 8-10 mission, which lifted off at 3:43 a.m. EDT (0743 GMT) of a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink satellites, 13 of which are equipped with new “Direct to Cell” capabilities to connect directly with smartphones on Earth. (SpaceX has a deal with T-mobile to provide direct-to-cell access as it builds a vast megaconstellation of Starlink satellites.)
The first-stage booster completed its 18th launch and landing after flying 13 Starlink missions, a Dragon cargo flight for NASA and three commercial satellite missions. It touched down on the SpaceX drone ship Just Read The Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean.
and finally, this…
Goodnight!
You truly live in a historic place where history is being made on a continual basis.
I am fortunate and blessed, and I appreciate it more with each day!
