    First intended orbit is the real milestone — price scrub risk too.

    Starlink V3 payload makes this a business flight, not just fireworks.

    Partial success is still the modal after 13 learning flights.

    FAA license in hand ≠ physics cooperating on Monday.

    Lol. orbit or bust — anything less resets the moon timeline talk.
