Wait how did I miss @Helge adding the F9 upper stage :joy:
Not a great week for second stage relights lol

Indeed, this was a bad week for upper stages. With a little more time, I would also have tried to squeeze in a Hyperbola-1 fourth stage. :wink:

I’ve got to figure out why my entries aren’t showing a thumbnail image. They do on Vimeo. I edited the submission thread a bit, but that didn’t work. I may play around with the submission post a bit to figure that out…

Sorry to hear about your loss @Trentle , I hate when a computer bites the dust, so heartbreaking!

And I do follow space news and heard there was a problem with a SpaceX rocket this past week, but I didn’t look into it. I was busy playing with the software called ‘blender’… You guys should check it out sometime… :rofl:

Thanks, fortunately I got a pretty good deal on a new computer and it’s a bit faster too. I was legitimately sad to see the Falcon 9’s insane 300+ launch streak come to an end though. At least the landing streak continues.

It is a little strange, indeed. Maybe it’s a discourse issue.
Directly using the vimeo iframe embed code seems to work just fine, though. :slight_smile:

Let’s see what the FAA decides. I suspect that Falcon 9 will be back on the pad sooner rather than later.
