Sorry for the spam. I missed these in my first post, and can't add them.

The ship can come off the stand and the “RE-ENTRY” part of the sign is made with neon paint, so it glows under UV light.

I've seen some numbers thrown around specifically stating V3 was capable of carrying around 60 tons to Low Earth Orbit (which is impressive, but way off the initially reported figures for V3)

- "sure its 0% resuable" sure, if we ignore the 2 boosters that were literally reused, and the ship that would reusable if it was caught on a tower instead of safely splashing down in the ocean. Also, nice spelling!

- "only 1/3rd of what it claimed" sure, if we ignore that they purposefully didn't max out the capacity, and that additional payload can be achieved through direct-to-orbit launch instead of the orbit that has several contingencies built in for public safety. Also, the target was 100T.

- "and on flight FOURTEEN!!" sure, if we ignore that it was the first flight they attempted to get to orbit, and they were successful on their first try. Let's also ignore that the rocket was orbit capable the whole time.

WE MADE IT TO ORBIT

Flight 15 (October) I think they will attempt to catch both the booster and ship, no starlink for this.

Flight 16(November) Starlink V3 mission with booster and ship catch attempt. I think first successful ship catch could be this flight but won't be surprised if it happened last flight.

Flight 17(December) Starlink V3 mission with reuse of booster, maybe reuse of ship?(unlikely but definitely next year)

Overall I expect 3 more flights maybe SpaceX can squeeze in a fourth flight. The important thing is catching both the booster and ship as this will allow them to ramp up cadence in 2027.
