The gray looks weird, but I think I'd rather have all gray than some of the crazy bright ones

It might have been hit by something. Or it could have had a failure and blown itself up. The history of these buses and some previous observations on this satellite, plus Boeing being involved, makes me inclined to think it blew itself up.
At least their stream is in 4k on YouTube, though
You can still do better than human drivers wiith only visible light cameras by using more of them at different heights and angles than a person could pay attention to. I think mixing in other sensors and data sources would still be even better, but they're already getting more data than a human could.
I'm really hoping Rivian can pull off mass production of the R2 and R3.
Hopefully they can recover the center core during the Griffin launch. It would be great to finally bring one home.
It looks like some small pieces blew off the booster and there was a little fire at the end, but they recovered it and can work on solving that for the next flight. What a catch.
The engines glowing made me reeeeeal nervous
Nice. Hopefully SpaceX shares a blog post with more information.
Understood, but I'm asking why it wasn't an approved last ditch backup plan until now. Did they do more testing or sumulation recently? Is NASA more risk averse after Starliner and digging deeper into backup backups?
I wonder what changed to get it approved after all this time.
The Bucks blue is always weird (their yellow was even worse imo), but I think the antlers on the court look a lot better than whatever shadows and text and clipart are on the rest of them.
