  1. “The rumours of my demise were greatly exaggerated.” A quote that fits with this story, I think.

    1. Next launch is penciled in for a bit after mid-November.
      It appears to a seriously gutsy launch with their most important non-government client, a super-heavy payload, the first launch of the enhanced F9, and a barge landing!

      I never play anything higher than quarter slots. This flight is maxing the high-rollers table.

      1. It is very exciting to see a team willing to put it on the line!

        Enough with the chickens!

        Get a load of the tone in this article

        What are they scared of??
        They want launch tech to stand still for another fifty years?
        or are they scared SpaceX is going to crush their buddies?
