I'm up for launch.

Lift off!

Successful launch and deployment. This was a pretty important one too.

First fairing 2.0 flight-these new fairings are cheaper, lighter, larger, and more optimized for recovery. They've been hyped for a long time.

Was a good launch yet I couldn't watch live. I've only missed 3 spacex launches yet I've missed both launches with titanium grid fins

A brother in particular who also has decent money.
