#ToryTakeOver day 4: @ulalaunch remains on vacation and I am unsupervised. Here’s a very short video tour of my Centennial office. (Apparently people feel that Von Braun would have been a Swifty…)

Joking aside, it's still pretty impressive. Landing on the moon is not easy. They landed softly, and the payloads are healthy, so overall I'd consider it a win.
4 rockets currently vertical on pads in Starbase, Vandenberg (SLC-4E), and Florida (SLC-40 and SLC-39A).

While the helicopter remains upright and in communication with ground controllers, imagery of its Jan. 18 flight sent to Earth this week indicates one or more of its rotor blades sustained damage during landing, and it is no longer capable of flight.
Originally designed as a technology demonstration to perform up to five experimental test flights over 30 days, the first aircraft on another world operated from the Martian surface for almost three years, performed 72 flights, and flew more than 14 times farther than planned while logging more than two hours of total flight time.
Well, it certainly surpassed expectations. RIP Ingenuity, you did well.
So, where is it going to be, folks? E12? F11? New Zealand? Tasmania?

It is rather incredible how dominant Falcon 9 is in the current launch market.
Avio did tanksgiving so well, they gave away tanks they required for the last flight of Vega!
