The bird in flight

Today's Space Day. Hope we all got up early to watch the 7 AM CST launch (with potential fireworks) - which happened more like 8:30. Our Boulder-Denver area is blizzardy and under a Xfinity / power warning so this poast has been prepared in advance . . .

The launch of Starship into space went without fireworks. For the SuperHeavy it went without... relit engines; and the Starship r.u.d.'d over the Indian Ocean before orbit. I hope neither poses problem for the FAA; the Plan B was to splash into the Gulf and/or the World-Ocean, so here "and" is the keyword.

Americans are experiencing a race between freedom (misnamed "capitalism") and corporatism, the latter being done in Japan and China. Or committed, a Japanese or Chinese "Milei" might say.
