Just got the news that 1058 was lost to the sea. Godspeed, you amazing rocket. Thank you for your service o7
Well half of it. It tipped over in rough seas and hit the deck with the upper half breaking off and going into the drink. Appears the engines are fine so there's that.
"A cohort of coherent cohosts". Well done sir!
The Coherent Cohost and his cohorts trapped you.
RIP B1058
F in the chat B1058
It's heart breaking hearing all of the chatter before B1058's flight knowing what happened out at see on the return journey 😢💔 Goodbye old friend 😔
19?! Crikey! Thanks team.
Great stream thanks NSF team. Awesome having Ian back on comms. Happy Holidays to all.
19th time for that booster? Makes us all warm and fuzzy inside!
Alex isn’t talking the entire stream good vid
I M glad that I worked enough on this land to say Merry Christmas 🧠 NSF .
Just being NSF ✨🌎
a date stamp and time stamp across the bottom of the screen would be very useful.
Go baby go
Thanks for the coverage. Remember #Your not 19 forever…
🙏 and Merry Christmas 🎄
Its me again
How much refurbishment is done on the booster between flights?
I like space
Inspite of working in entire world space seemed quiet and alright to work.
RIP B1058😭😭😭
"SpaceX has launched the launch of...." nice captioning!
SpaceX's 95th launch of the year! They were shooting for 100, but are (unfortunately) gonna come up 1 or 2 (or so) short due to scrubs, delays, and so on. The analysis on this launch (StarLink 6-32) says "93rd launch of the year", but that doesn't include their 2 StarShip launch attempts this year (so far), so they've really had 95 overall launches, 93 of which were successful and made it to orbit (so far).
At present, there are FOUR MORE SpaceX Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy launches scheduled before 12/31/2023! How will they do? How will their record wind up? This booster, on StarLink 6-32 just set records, having been launched and recovered NINETEEN (19!) times! Originally, they had designed and certified Falcon 9 for up to 10 launches. When they hit that, they got to "Recertify" those boosters for 15 launches. They passed that this year, and are now recertifying boosters to fly up to TWENTY (20!) times! That saves SO MUCH time, effort and materials in terms of not having to keep building so many launch vehicles!
These factors have driven the cost of space down to the point where when SpaceX does one of their "Rideshare" missions, they are literally able to offer a ride to space for a bunch of school kids to be able to launch a small satellite for less than $1.50 per pound to Low Earth Orbit!
Cost to launch: $67M
Payload to LEO: 22,300kg
Actual cost per lb. $1.34 to LEO
Based on figures from NextSpaceFlight web site.
BTW - thanks to @NSF folks for great coverage, as always! This just NEVER gets old, nice crackle on this launch, and interesting to see so much soot inside the rocket at staging!

Can someone speak to the issue of why the early launches had 60 satellites/lunch? Then 57 while 'ride sharing" now "23"/????? 60 clear up to 23 "what's up with that"??
are the satellites bigger? not leaving sufficient room in the fairing???
@highpointsights they are launching starlink version 2 (V2) now. They are much larger and intended for launch on starship. Falcon is launching a slightly smaller version of the V2 that is compatible with its fairing.
Whats it launching
Satellites
Starlink internet sattelites
Why launch rockets when you have UAP craft NASA?
why can't you be quiet before 1:00 TO GO
More satellites to destroy the night sky for amateur and professional astronomers, and further enrich elon.

Way to much talking
because this is commentary.
