Spacex delivered another sixty internet satellites into orbit yesterday. Watch the launch and the recovery of the booster below. It's a pretty good video for the kids to watch as well. Enjoy.
How are the EPA's coming along on their rural internet projects?

Beautiful! Can you say Elon Musk is the Howard Hughes of the 2020's.
He is the founder, CEO, CTO and chief designer of SpaceX; early investor, CEO and product architect of Tesla, Inc.; founder of The Boring Company; co-founder of Neuralink; and co-founder and initial co-chairman of Open AI at age 49.
Musk, who has been married twice and has five sons, has a new member of the family: a baby boy with his partner, the musician Grimes.
Central Electric Coop in Rankin County is not participating. Their are many areas that would benefit from fiber internet. Sad.
The EPAs can’t deliver reliable electric service much less rural broadband.
The EPAs have run ti Hinds County Chancery Court to protect the secrecy of their broadband buildouts. Might be they don't want their rule breaking discovered - like putting their members at risk, Kingfish, you might want to check it out. Other "media" has avoided it due to their love fest with PSC Commissioner Brandon Presley.
Also there is a big ERISA lawsuit ongoing with the rube coops NRECA Pension fund. Mismanagement of funds and wrongful plan fees. CASE No. 1:19-cv-000973-LO-IDD
THE EPAS/EMCS whatever the hell they are these days takes their "member-owners" money and makes big campaign contributions to the l e g i s l a t o r s and MEC Hob Nob events to the tune of $4,000.00. Gosh I bet their members feeel sooo much better by Michal Callahan managing their money and distributing it around, you know, where it "needs" to go.
8:05 -- I respectfully disagree, at least with regard to my EPA. They provide excellent service/response at a very fair rate. And I live in a very rural area at the end of my service line.
5:30 -- you've hit the nail on the head! Let's everyone do a little reading on the "Co-Bank" loans that some EPAs (including mine) have been taking to do their fiber builds. What do you think might be used for collateral? Perhaps it's the EPA equipment/capability itself. My EPA should completely publish their financial arrangements in this regard -- as should others. I suspect they won't, even though the state's enabling EPA/fiber legislation requires it when any member asks for it.
Commissioner Presley -- ask your EPA to publish all of their financial analyses, plans, agreements, and details RIGHT NOW...
A decade ago when SpaceX was in their infancy, another Space Entrepreneur named Robert Bigelow announced he was making and inflatable Space Station based off abandoned NASA tech. Well, fast forward to now and the B330 is ready for orbit, for MARs, and for galactic exploration.

Robert Bigelow, infamous for buying the Skinwalker Ranch to study UFO and cryptid phenomenon in the Uintah Basin of Utah, doesn't seek as much media attention as Elon Musk (Tesla's most profitable product is their stock) so not as many people know about Bigelow Aerospace.
Regardless of what all of you are clamoring about, I enjoyed and marvel in the fact that these feats can be performed. I grew up watching the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions on TV in school. Usually all day events.

Absolutely 2:13 !
Once the Apollo missions began, it became week long events.
And when the teachers would roll the old televisions into the classroom, we knew it would be a fun week
. . . no multiplication cards to memorize for a few days !
In 2020, I'm in awe that a rocket booster can now have a controlled upright landing on an unmanned barge about twenty minutes after launch.
Keep up the space porn KF !
In a new report released this week, the investment bank Morgan Stanley says it is raising its "base case enterprise value" of SpaceX from $52 billion to $101 billion. "The pieces are coming together for SpaceX to create an economic and technological flywheel," the report states, citing Starship, Starlink, and reuse.
