Also, It’s awesome to see Dragon 2 consistently launching from Pad 40. While the crew arm has come down at 39A for maintenance and to clear the way for Falcon Heavy and Starship, we’ll maintain the capability to call up Crew missions at 39A if needed.
@turkeybeaver is Kiko Dontchev, VP of launch at SpaceX.

Is Hawaii not in the U.S.? Or was it not in the U.S. at the time of the early Panda Express?








Well, it’s not like SpaceX have put much effort into their YouTube channel recently, right? They don’t even stream the launches there anymore!
