Fun trivia. This is the first time they've used a booster three times. This one has previously launched from each of the east coast sites, so it's now launched from all three of SpaceX's sites.

Wow. Live video of the booster landing on the drone ship from some other ship. Super cool.

So...maybe they've figured out some steps to take to make it kinda sorta waterproof? Another launch tomorrow at about the same time FWIW. |

I was just looking at their missions, and they aren't going to do another heavy before they do the first BFR?

Next FH launch is expected to be Arabsat-6. Currently NET January, but I'd guess it'll slip from that a bit. I'd imagine FH will fly about 4-5 times before BFS.
