Interesting. I didn’t realize SpaceX was that far along, that they were regularly carrying cargo and passengers to the ISS. Good news that we won’t be as dependent on the Russians.
A reliable source tells me that they would have had 5 park , but they didnt have change for the meter.
Pretty cool that the “operationalizing” of space may finally be upon us. SpaceX has launch, orbit and recovery down to a science now.
SpaceX has also launched a lot of other commercial and governmental payloads. They are currently building out their own satellite constellation to deliver broadband Internet called Starlink. Another thing that they are developing is a completely reusable space transportation system. It is a two stage system with a first stage that is called Super Heavy, and a second stage called Starship. It is a very large vehicle. They are currently building and testing prototypes at their test site at Boca Chica, Texas. There are several channels on YouTube that cover space program activities, many run by space enthusiasts. For starters there is: What about it?, Scott Manley, spaceXcentric, Marcus House, among others.
