It was pretty incredible to watch. Hot staging looks crazy. Launch mount is in good shape this time.
To get to where they are on what is effectively the second launch of a new, leading-edge vehicle, is staggering.
Yeah, they installed that water deluge system in a few months. The organisation involved for this sort of manufacturing iteration for the largest rocket ever made boggles the mind.

Having spent much of my career helping business run better, I'd love to spend some time looking at SpaceX, their culture and management ethos. Probably not dissimilar to military technical operations, I'd imagine.

Reverting back 50 or 60 years I've relistened to both series of '13 Minutes to the Moon' over the break.
Went looking for animation of the flights and found the following. Reminder of how awesome a feat getting to the moon is/was.

Google obviously read me searching for moon stuff and sent me this in my notifications:
Two companies will attempt the first US Moon landings since the Apollo missions
Two private companies in the US are attempting the country's first Moon landing since its Apollo program ended more than five decades ago.
