starlink deluge test and 33 (-2) engine static fire
I know it is a bit off topic for nanog, but this test was very exciting today:

Happy friday! While they have filed for a launch license for august
31st, it is impossible for me to believe that date! It was also
difficult to believe the deluge ("bidet") system would actually work.

I look forward to a launch vehicle capable of putting up the next
generation of starlink sats which are estimated to have 4x the
capacity of the old, and further improvements on their wifi, backbone
and satellite switching technologies.
