The FAA has cleared Falcon 9 to return to flight following an issue with the second stage on the Starlink 17-32 mission.
The mission itself was successful—the anomaly occurred only during the deorbit burn, after payload separation.

Artemis II: Preliminary information points to a second WDR (Wet Dress Rehearsal) target of next Friday.
Interestingly, there's talk of a NET launch date of March 3 (not previously in the windows), which could result in a daylight launch T-0.
All subject to change of course, and hydrogen behaving.

After around 12 hours, Starship B19 has fully detanked and completed what looked to be a nominal full cryo test at Masseys. It remains to be seen if SpaceX will next roll it back to Mega Bay 1, or has further tests planned for it at Masseys.
