This is a pretty thorough discussion about why there's been such a massive gap since the last FH launch.

Not gonna win any awards for views today. It was still awesome to see it on the way up, though.

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, November 12 for launch of the Intelsat G-31/G-32 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 120-minute launch window opens at 11:06 a.m. ET (16:06 UTC). A backup launch opportunity is available on Sunday, November 13 with the same window.
The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Dragon's first crew demonstration mission, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, SXM-7, and 10 Starlink missions. A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff. |

Something looked off with the 2nd stage engine. A tear in the foil... Then, right before SECO, there seemed to be some venting gas. Perhaps the venting gas is normal, I just don't recall seeing it before.
