Wow!! I think most of us assumed cancellation was politically impossible, so it’s going to be very interesting to watch the fallout of this report. What will be the battlelines in Congress?

Did not enjoy the wait for AOS!

May Clipper have a boring journey.

Stunning. They have no right to make it look so easy.

I was ready to wait until Christmas for this and now I’m not emotionally prepared!

If there’s a catch attempt I’m expecting a mild success where something goes wrong (those arms sway sooo much), but I’m optimistic about Ship reentry. Going to be great.

Thanks for mentioning this! Loving the world so far.

Curious to see what happens in the Gulf given Zack Golden’s speculation from a few days ago. Are they really going to retrieve a booster that’s hundreds of meters below sea level? Feels hard.

Unfortunate for this to happen on a high profile flight, amid all the regulatory bickering.

I’m glad my concerns about these suits were overblown! They look like a big improvement over status quo.

Pretty confused about why SpaceX released this - it’s a vague, whiney, entitled message, even if they’re right!

Parts of the regulatory process are clunky, and the goals of an environmental assessment don’t always align with the goals of SpaceX - that’s the point. I’d be concerned if the company was happy with the process.

I don’t want to write an essay right now. I know it’s messy, and the process needs to improve. I just wish SpaceX had brought receipts before starting…whatever they just started.

Wasn’t expecting such beautiful shots at midnight in the desert!
