The real time tracker was wrong.  At 16 minutes it was just over New Zealand and on the map, looked like it could have hit LA.  When the map rotated it looked like Mexico, then it actually hit the Indian ocean.

Thanks, never liked Roulette. Burned beyond recognition they said by their agency.

Would not matter what it looked like when it came down on a head. Guess they are going on luck over the last while.

Only 10 more launches to go they say to build their space station.

Not very good odds to me.

SpaceX sets booster reuse milestone on Starlink launch

SpaceX launched a set of Starlink satellites May 9 on a Falcon 9 whose first stage was making its tenth flight, a long-awaited goal in the company’s reusability efforts.

The Falcon 9 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 2:42 a.m. Eastern. The rocket’s upper stage deployed its payload of 60 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit nearly 65 minutes later.

Virgin Galactic Flight Schedule In Doubt Again As Potential Issue Found

Virgin Galactic said the timing of the next flight test is currently being evaluated. But it added that work to correct electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the VSS Unity is complete, and the spaceplane is ready to start pre-flight procedures. Fixes include adding components to suppress any EMI from the flight control computer and any EMI from the ship's wiring.
