DocM Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Gwynne Shotwell said the Falcon 9 Block 5's were coming back in better than expected condition. This one launched the 2nd heaviest GEO commsat ever launched, with a Block 5 also launching the heaviest GEO bird a few weeks ago. Beastly, and Falcon Heavy Block 5 is next.

Draggendrop Veteran Posted September 14, 2018 Veteran Share Posted September 14, 2018 Takes time to make time. Time to iron out the bugs and it will be routine shortly.
