My #cycad has 2 huge fruit cones this year
#Bananaforscale 😁
Didn’t plant it but given the size, think it must be #Lepidozamia peroffskyana #ScalyCycad, not endemic to Sydney. But cycad taxonomy isn’t my strong point - corrections welcome.
(Fronds & cones are too large to be #Macrozamia lucida.)

Walked down the #BurghRidge track to #BurningPalms a couple of days ago, silver sun on the sea. I love that area; always makes me feel good to be alive.

#SpaceX #launches & #mass_orbited
Sorry, I got distracted. #Payload launched makes the point better than launch count: #LEO is where it’s all happening, even excluding #Starlink.
Notes follow.

#SpaceX #boosters are assigned to launches either at the #Cape or #Vandenberg.
There are exceptions where boosters switch launch sites but they’re rare. Here’s the current roster

Congrats to #BlueOrigin #BO for achieving orbit on the debut flight of #NewGlenn

#SpaceX noted that the launch on Wednesday of #iSpace’s #Resilience (#Hakuto2) & #FireflySpace’s #BlueGhost1 lunar landers was the 100th from Kennedy Space Center pad LC-39A.

Here’s the rest of the story.

Both #ElonMusk & #PeterBeck emphasised the importance & difficulty of increasing #launch #cadence. #SpaceX first launched #Falcon9 in 2010, #RocketLab has flown #Electron since 2017. Let’s see how they compared over the first 8 years.

To put that in context:
#SpaceX #Falcon9 launches (all, including first flights & #FalconHeavy). The dip in 2019 was NOT due to #covid, which did not emerge until year's end. It did, however, apparently suppress launches in 2020 & 2021, delaying the upsweep in cadence.

4/ SpaceX assigns boosters to either east or west coast launches & rarely swaps them. Current assignments & days since last launch show that east coast boosters are worked harder - turnaround time might be limiting the east coast launch rate. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #launchrate

3/ Median turnaround time in 2023 was 49 d but it can clearly be done in <30 d so turnaround requirements can likely be met. There is however, a wrinkle: in 2023, 69% of launches were from the Cape, east coast, 31% from Vandenberg, west coast. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #launchrate

#SpaceOne #KAIROS maiden launch #RUD
From #Kii spaceport Kashimoto, Wakayama,
in a depression offset from the coast. Burning debris fell close to the pad with solid fuel fires 😬

#SpaceOne #KAIROS maiden launch #RUD seconds after launch, 2nd attempt after March 9 abort. Looks like the explosion was at the S1-S2 interstage. Maybe S1 blew out aft forward bulkhead or S2 ignited prematurely.

#ColumbiaSportswear now has an ad on the Moon.
Must be some kind of a first for a clothing co.
