"SpaceX’s last ~40 hours"

 SpaceX’s last ~40 hours:

- launch of history’s largest and most powerful rocket, Starship, completing the first-ever midair catch of a rocket booster and an on-target ocean landing of the upper stage

- launch of Falcon Heavy with an interplanetary NASA spacecraft headed to one of Jupiter’s moons, achieving a new Falcon vehicle velocity record

- two Falcon 9 launches of dozens of Starlink satellites; one from Florida, one from California

That’s four launches of three different rockets (Starship/FH/F9) from four unique launch sites in three U.S. states — in ~40 hours. Insanity.

Also, in yesterday's post "Best Footage Of SpaceX Catching The Super Heavy Booster" I forgot to mention that the booster that Mechazilla caught weighs 250 tons. 

Don't try this at home.
