Just re-watched a launch and landing on YouTube. It's going to be so cool watching them launch from LA.
Think I'll be able to see them on a clear morning/evening from Ocean Springs?

The intranet says there are 2 launch corridors. S/E over Cuba and E/SE over Fla./ Cape Canaveral.
The entire eastern gulf should see the launches over Fla.

The next launch, Flight 15 they say they will attempt to catch both stages.
Previously, they’ve only caught the super heavy booster.
They have one operable launch/catch tower. So one tower would catch both I assume.
That gives them little time between the booster catch and ship returning from orbit.
Launch two bombs. Catch the first very hot bomb. Move the hot bomb out of the way. Catch the hotter bomb. Hope to be able to reuse any of it.
Either way, it’ll be a must watch event.

Flight 14's mission was originally scheduled to last ~9 hours but they ended it early due to losing an engine on the way up
I assume the flight profile will be the same... so that would give them like 8.5 hours to get Booster de-tanked & out of the way before Starship comes in if it completes its full flight profile

Dems are planning to throw Musk in jail because of TDS, so don't plan on grabbing a spot to watch just yet.

I saw the one last week when I was taking my dogs out in the am before work. Very cool

See that's a mistake. I've seen way too many Bond Films to know you don't piss off a Billionaire with rockets. ..
I mean in theory he could just drop a small rod from a satellite and take anyone out at any time.
Or hold the moon hostage for $1m .

Did you watch Falcon 9 or Starship?

I'd prefer he just buy some country, or create a massive, floating raft like structure and create Elon-land in the middle of the ocean. I'd move my whole family there. Would probably be paradise. Hopefully if they frick with him enough, he'll create some entire infrastructure that more advanced peoples may be able to inhabit.

Seriously if I had his money I would buy a country. I'm sure I could get a nice piece of Africa or South America. Build it up. Seal the boarders and have a real life Wakanda. But more Rhodesian looking.
