Thanks for all your work over the years ...
Thanks for all the vids mate, hope to see you one day (I also live in Australia)

More than 26 min full of content, really nice.
👍
Also the 20th landing if I understood correctly was a record turn around time for a boosters at just 3 weeks?
The sad thing for us in South Africa, we cannot get Star Link because our useless government will not allow StarLink here unless the country has a stake in the company, so they will rather make money for themselves than have all the rural areas get low cost internet and helping the community. Very sad.
Africa seems to have alot of corruption issues.
You do know the hardware you need would cost $599 to $2,500, right? What is that, 11 000 rand at minimum?
@@ahhmm5381 So? To get out from under gov't control, a small price.
Generally the scheme for these rural areas is to get one terminal for the whole area or village, then share around the connection using whatever tech is most practical.
@@UncleKennysPlace I think the reply was pointing out the difference of opinion concerning what is considered low cost internet
I have no clue what Internet service costs in SA, just pointing out his point
9:38 that Skyshow footage is mind blowingly detail at super resolution.
They really stepped into the launch footage game like:
"you dont know me, but im the new king in town"
@@maikoah💯💯💯💯. VFX folks now have fantastic reference footage to recreate.
Thanks! Another great episode from you folks, appreciate the linked sources. All the best
@@maikoah seriously - where have they been the last 20 years I've been following rocketry? Instant subscription to their channel from me. I suspect their videography is so good that it was kept under confidentiality agreements (I can even imagine top-secret depending on what they're filming), and they got paid serious dollars for their capabilities. Maybe some of those restrictions have been lifted?
Everyday Astronaut shaking his fist right now lol
As a kid from the 1960s - the Falcon landings just blow my mind. I pray to live long enough to see Starship enter reusable launch programs - maybe even make it to watching a MARS bound launch.
Me and u both space civilisation pleaseeeee
Imagine if we stopped fighting each other and united in a common goal to get there... unfortunately we're talking about humans though. Its probably gonna be guns blazing bybthe first decade
So many people seem to say,
It's time we left this world today.
Fly high Silver Machine!
My dad said this is some Buck Rogers s hit.😂
@@flatnicable Watch the "Expanse". It'll backup what you say.
We were blessed with perfect clear skies to watch the eclipse from Orford, Quebec. 3 and a half minutes of totality. It was truly awe-inspiring. The corona was much bigger and more impressive than I'd anticipated. The moments before and after were just amazing, with the full-spectrum white light just going to dark then blasting back to light. Seeing planets and stars mid-afternoon, going from warm sunlight to chills in a few minutes. A 360-degree blue-white sunset in all directions, really no words to properly describe. A terrific one-time natural spectacle to remember!
everything you just said. Wonderful
It was more than I expected for sure.
We pulled an all night 11.5 hour drive to join you out there in Sherbrooke. It was very worth it even being my 2nd eclipse.
Here in Seattle we were protected from the deadly eclipse radiation by a thick layer of cloudy skies ! I feel we dodged a bullet to be honest .
I got to see that unexpectedly when I was in Nashville a few years ago. We watched it through our welding hoods and I will never forget it. Cheers from the US 🎉
Hey Hey it’s Marcus time
Aka woo hoo 🎉
Damn right!!😊

@@eewls I don’t understand.
Towers should be called “let me give you a hug”.

These space events are what I've been waiting for since the early 70's
I've been waiting since the late 50s and early 60s. I'm sad that I probably will never see a human Mars landing. 😢
@@kokomo9764 Yea, your screwed. I might be too. As an Apollo kid, I thought we'd have people all over the solar system by now. As a kid, it was kind of horrific to me that everyone just moved on after the moon landings... and for the most part, was out of it after the first landing. I never understood that.
@hawkdsl I have always thought that working at FORD Aerospace at NASA on the SKYLAB mission in the early 70s was a stepping stone to more space missions beyond the moon missions. Hope I see a MARS landing, but time is running out.
don't hold your breath
Manned moonlanding alone will take 3-5 years
Mars will not happen within the next 10 years (irrespective of the unrealistic nonsense from Musk)
Likewise! Born in '56 so I will never see a Boeing fly in space!
Thanks Marcus!
For the Eclipse, here in Austin, Texas, we were. "in the zone". While it was fairly cloudy, there were plenty of breaks that allowed us to see essentially every part of it from start to finish. But the best part was how the clouds totally disappeared just about 2-3 minutes before totality. What a heaven-sent miracle. It also warmed my heart to know that all the folks who traveled far and wide and rented campers, campsites, hotels and motels, car rentals, you name it, in the area got to see it so well. It was a great sight and very moving I have to say.
Best time of the week, Marcus in the House 🎉
can we read some serbian press to balance out the mainstream coverage of spacex in the next episode?
. Please explain. I am cluless on this. Thank you.
I drove around the Great Lake Ontario and crossed at Niagra Falls into the US from Canada to New York state to be at the center of the moon's shadow. We (youngins) sat on a park bench with many elders at an old-age home to experience the sky go dark (so quickly), the side-walk lights come on, the birds silence their chirps, the crickets and frogs start peeping, and the air get quite cold...until the sun returned. Amazing. Im hooked. I want to experience totality again!
I witnessed Apollo 15 being launched when I was seven years old and I am so thankful I am still here to witness what SpaceX is doing. I am very thankful for guys like you Marcus for bringing us all the facts that you know and your educated speculation.
Thanks Hall!
Long starship isn’t real. It can’t hurt you
Long starship:

These comments were never funny… unless you’re 12
@TJ-W I’m 12x3
It will be.
My girlfriend and I drove up to Buffalo to see the eclipse; it was cloudy most of the day but cleared up just at the last minute. Truly a spectacular sight.
The shockwaves caused by the launch never cease to wow me.
24:34 For everyone's information in regards to the Delta IV RS-68A's organish exhaust, a hydrogen engine has normally a nearly clear exhaust. The shuttle/SLS Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 is an example. However, the RS-68A is an ablatively-cooled engine, which means the engine nozzle liner is slowly vaporized to provide evaporative cooling. It's this ablated organic material in the exhaust stream that makes it colorful.

Going to be a LONG time before that image stops warping my brain
The best single-host space recap channel out there. Thanks Marcus & team!
What's your favorite married-host space recap channel?
This video got me all excited for the future of the space industry. Great way to start my 40th birthday!
Happy Birthday, bud.
15:50 that booster return to earth video is amazing.
I really look forward to this every Saturday morning. Thank you Marcus, and the eclipse was amazing. Where I live in East Texas we were in totality for a little over 4 mins, but the clouds limited our viewing. Thankfully we had two 20-30 second breaks in the clouds to be able to see it in all its glory. Coolest part was seeing a solar flare near the bottom of the ring that looked pinkish/red. Very, very cool stuff!
I live in Cleveland, 3 miles from eclipse dead center. It left me speechless.. Pitch dark for close to 4mins.. just before birds were going crazy then with 100% slience... this was my 3rd eclipse and the 1st which was 100%.
Skyshow TV has been creating some of the most amazing footage for 30 years and no one has ever heard or seen of them?? How does this happen? Those views you showed looked amazing!
They were doing engineering footage - they only v. recently created the channel SkyshowTV and decided to publicly share some of it
Yes. They were doing what I guess they thought was very niech thing for engineers and such. Very worth a watch. Only a few videos up at the moment, but I hope, with 30 years of activity, they have a fairly decent catalogue just waiting to be digitized and uploaded.
Watching those boosters return and land like 1950s bad sci-fi NEVER gets old. Just frikinAmazing 😊
The solar eclipse was awesome! The auto shade of my welding helmet turned off automatically when the sun was totally covered. I could even see a solar prominence at the bottom left very clearly. And, the little critters and birds all got quiet. It was a strange feeling to look directly at the sun without any eye protection. And then it was over after what seemed like 2 minutes. It felt as if time stood still for a few moments.
Where were you?
my weekly dose of news. keep the good work up
I think back to the '60s when I would get up early in the morning to watch the Gemini and Apollo launches and how it was such an "event ". All this is the answer to the promise of what was to come. Looking forward to the future!!!!!!!
Imagined of two starship lunches, simultaneously lunching 😍
Is Starship doing the eating or is someone eating Starship?
Loved the weekly update as usual Mr. House. I got to witness totality in Southern Missouri. It was an amazing experience that is difficult to describe. The feeling that something is off while the moon is blocking the sun is unique. I was amazed as everything grew darker, yet the trees still shed shadows as midday. The appearance of the corona around the moon was amazing. Dusk to dawn lights came on, crickets started chirping.
When the sun started to show again, the limited light felt like a flood light turning on nearby, not the sun returning. Unfortunately, words cannot do the experience justice and I hope you can experience one someday.
I live in Arkansas, USA and my house was in totality for right at 4 minutes! Insane experience, just one of those things you’ve got to see
I live in Arkansas as well. I drove to Clarksville and got to see totality for about 3.5 minutes. It was spectacular. Way cooler than I was expecting.
@@calebcourteau I didn’t really know what to expect, I was blown away
Drove to Mount Isa from BC Canada. Thanks for having us!!!
@@cabeese5908 don’t thank me, this is America
I live in the eclipse's path of totality near Ohio's north coast. We had a perfect afternoon view of the eclipse and your views of the Moon's shadow on Earth from space are a great finale to the event. Thank you to Marcus and team.
Collaboration between any legitimate space agencies/companies means an increase in innovation and faster development and sooner to Mars.
Stayed home from this eclipse because I didn't think it would eclipse the experience I had on the Idaho/Oregon border with the 2017 eclipse.
It was _so_ spacey!
THE SPACE RACE IS BACK BABY!
I saw the total eclipse from southern Indiana and it was spectacular!
Me too. White Oak Fishing Area. Darker than 2017. Indeed spectacular.
Woe what a jam packed episode. Thanks for masterfully squeezing it all in and with wonderful enthusiasm.
The eclipse pictures et al were cream of the crop from what I saw everyone else try to post. I must say, Tim Dodds did a marvelous job of letting me experience it remotely.
You do a great job Marcus, thanks for all your + team's efforts.
I love space x confidence to catch a booster on the only tower in town!
Here in northern Ohio, the views of the eclipse were absolutely spectacular. Easily the most awesome thing I've ever seen in my life... just, wow.
By chance, I witnessed both US eclipses. Whispy thin clouds didn't take too much away from it.
I enjoyed seeing my friend witness her first eclipse. Probably the last one for both of us.

We drove down to near Russellville Arkansas. I have a basic SLR camera with a 300mm telephoto lens which I was able to make some pretty decent photos with. It was quite the experience.
I am going on my 3rd to 4th year of watching Marcus on Saturday, and it never gets old.
I just flew to and from Hawaii last week on Starlink equipped Hawiian Airlines. Flawless free internet was amazing!😂
Yes, there is no one else over the ocean while you are flying, so you have all the available bandwidth to the closest satellites wizzing by. You are also much closer to them.
Try it again on the ground in an area with a few thousand customers. I bet your results will change 😉
Okay Marcus. We see you coming down the ladder on Saturday. Good job team!👍
Skyshow.... WOW. Beautiful footage!!!!. I want to make them special wallets for the many new fans they are about to get! Having one of these beautiful still shot moments from separation as your wallet lining would look so freaking good!!!!! And a super cool gift for any: Space, SpaceX, Spaceship, NASA, Rocket technology lovers.
I watched the eclipse from Canton TX. It was a little cloudy but still very impressive through the high cloud layer. The reddish solar prominence on the bottom was very visible also. It looked like a little shiny ruby or something. I also saw the one in the US seven years ago and it was clear then but no solar prominences.
Thanks for all the hard work Marcus. It’s great for us that love space but can’t keep up with all the news
Great stuff this week. Hadn’t seen most of these eclipse images.
Marcus - I think you should start a special Patreon membership for those of us who want to see the upcoming Australian eclipses. We'll need a local tour guide, and it'll help drive membership in your channel!
This is the best space round-up I've found.
Marcus, epic Channel and great show as always. I live in downtown Toronto and, while it was overcast and I couldn't see the eclipse directly, it was pitch black downtown at about 3:30 p.m. on the day. It was very, very bizarre. Loved every minute of it. Keep up the great work.
I drove ~6h to see the eclipse totality with my 16yo daughter. (Virginia to Ohio) Totally worth it.
I was in Indiana and it was epic!!! We got see the diamonds of the solar flares. We had clear skies and totality!!!! It was so moving. Glad I got to spend it with family!
Awesome new pictures of flight are a real treat ! Thanks for bringing them to the update.
I was able to see the totality of the eclipse right from my front yard in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
I saw it from outside Jackson Square (also in Hamilton Ontario for those who don't know).
I’m close to Huron and it was cloudy! 😢
Good roundup of space goodness. .
Those landings never get boring.
The unseen footage was stunning.
Thank you MH + Team for the quality upload. .
truly, those landings get me hyped up every time without fail, its beautiful
@@enceladus4900 Just wait for the chopsticks!!!
totality is a spiritual experience. i hope to see it once more before i die
Spain in 2026 and 27 (the latter also covers Tunisia, Luxor, and Jeddah). Australia and southern New Zealand in 2028.
Thanks for the complete coverage!
congratulations on the 20th land of that booster, truly remarkable stuff.
Thanks, Marcus, for the awesome updates. What WAS that 15:37 bubble of clouds that suddenly appeared around the falling booster?!? I haven't seen that before! Great shots!
I'm going to guess it's gas being vented after booster shut down.
RCS thrusters keeping booster on track
East Texas here, if I could attach an image, I would send a picture I took of the eclipse through an opening in the clouds. It was an impressive sight. Just about an hour and a half east of Dallas. We did have totality.
I drove my family from California to Texas to see this eclipse. The weather wasn't ideal, however, the clouds were thin enough at times to get some great pictures of the corona. The way the shadow turned the day to night was incredible, and I was also really blown away by the twilight I could see all around us at the edges of the shadow. Truly an amazing experience and I'm not sure if I will get a chance before then, but I am planning on seeing the next one in 2045, at least I won't have to travel as far for that one.
Awesome videos 10/10
You've had a good week if it's Saturday morning and you're watching a Marcus and team production!
Would much like your best guess as to; whether the 60 fuel/oxygen pumps are an unnecessary redundancy for the 30 booster rocket engines? Shouldn't 10 be enough? Time to manufacture, money, resources, and reliability are being wasted; no? Someone once said, "The best part is no part."
There must be a good reason for all the pumps.
Not at all sure if this is the answer, but the Raptor 3 has a lot of hidden complexity to pump propellant around the inside for cooling.
@@michaelmicek Thank you, that may indeed be a factor. The Russians had a duel rocket engine that only used a single fuel pump for both combustion chambers, and another one for the oxidizer. It was also a fuel cooled bell nozzle.
I love that Marcus has a favorite rocket engine. ❤ “you’re one of us!”
Thanks for your videos, Marcus! You pair excellent editing and enthusiasm to make an exciting and informative episode every week. Certainly, your videos are some of the very best in this genre !
The chopstick catch just seems so low probability, especially for the first attempts. I don't understand how they'd take that risk of damaging everything and have to waste time rebuilding. How little fuel is in the booster at the end? How big would the explosion be when they pull a me, botch the grab, and drop the edamame bean on the floor? It seems like they should put an extra test tower somewhere far far away.
They do have the experience they gained from the falcon 9, but I agree that the risk is just too much right now. They should at least get a few soft splashdowns first
" I don't understand how they'd take that risk..."
they risk tax payers' money. That's how.
@@istvansipos9940They also risk Elon’s money, so it’s not all bad
@@istvansipos9940 bullshit. SpaceX is a private company.
Elon said in the presentation that they won't attempt the actual catch until is was successfully tested over the ocean using a "virtual tower" several times. Not sure why Marcus chose not to report it that way.
No matter what SpaceX evolves into, with Starship, Starlink, etc. they will have advanced space like no one since NASA. Someday, people will ride on just the booster and return just for the ride and people will watch it all live on Starlink. The things SpaceX is doing are amazing. Thanks for showing us every week Marcus.
I’m from Phoenix, AZ and took the chance to fly to Cleveland to see the eclipse. Home again in less than 24 hours! Viewed it from the Great Lakes science center where NASA was live streaming.
The total eclipse was amazing to see. You'll have your chance to see one on July 22 2028. I'm making my plans to see it fro New Zealand, make sure you get into a good location.
Not an expert, but I’d recommend you get up in altitude and not in Dunedin.
The engines are going to become so powerful with so much thrust that I suspect refurbishing the launch site is going to be a real hassle. Even more than it is already. It will be impossible to do any kind of rapid turnaround or reusability if the launch pad and tower get torn up every launch.
Remember it's a test tower.
They're still learning how to build a rapidly-reusable "stage 0" along with the rest of the rocket.
That v3 is goofy
It kind of does look that way for sure.
Only because we used to V1/V2 proportions. At first concepts we also consider Starship shape quite goofy.
@@MarcusHouse hi Marcus, you forgot about flight test of the Angara
@@just_archan well yes
I live in East Texas and witnessed the total eclipse. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen!
I wish you could have been here! 😎
One rolls through Australia in July, 2028. Maybe he can say hey hey to that one.
My wife and I drove down to Dallas for the eclipse. That morning, the clouds came in and it was quite overcast for a good portion of the morning, then started clearing up so that we could see most of the approach to totality and then the entire total eclipse! We have never seen it before and to share it with my best friend was the most special thing.
Wow! Glad the weather played nice for you.
What was really disappointing for me was the 40-50 tons to LEO for current starship. What? That's a Falcon Heavy in reusable mode. I know that designs gain weight an lose performance in reality, but to go from 150+tons designed to now 40-50 (which really means 40) is almost disastrous. I now understand why the talks of "bigger and better" starships began even before the first liftoff. Starship gained weight, a lot of it. And that is without any legs. That also explains no payload planned for now - the thing struggles to lift itself into orbit. The challenge was great from the start, but now I'm really starting to worry. At least we have Falcons.
As they get accurate measurements of the stresses over Starship/Superheavy in the various phases of flight they can trim mass. Continual evolution of Raptor also adding more thrust also adds payload.
Falcon heavy has no reusable second stage. And core stage was never been recovered
I was surprised by the 40-50 number also, but the goal hasn't changed, so like Scanner says.
In particular, I understand that they plan to use thinner walls.
@@michaelmicek
It can also have less reinforcement, lighter weight components of other types (including the Raptors). The Starship going to electric gimballing from hydraulic will shave significant mass. Musk previously mentioned that they might switch to 3 grid fins one much smaller, that is tons of mass right there.
I'm sure they are looking at EVERYTHING to see how they can cut mass while still performing as needed.
Remember version 1 starship is a prototype that hasn't even had a fully successful flight yet. I'm critical of some of elons brain fart ideas but IF they get starships operational, the good stuff will happen with version 2 and 3 and who know's how many improved versions with improved capabilities after that.
Always a treat, for every Saturday. You, Scott, Felix, NSF, and Tim. The only reason I pay for premium!
Damn, these guys are serious! I can't believe the pace of their innovation and production. When these BEASTS are fully flight proven, they are going to revolutionize space flight.
Imagine if they instead used that innovation to define all their goals first so they knew exactly what to build to achieve them & what they needed to build it?
Would they risk blowing the one and only launch pad up with an attempted chopsticks Landing? Seems about as good an idea as and probably be as successful as self driving cars...
I think self driving cars are a better idea. But I agree that this seems too early to attempt such a landing when they couldn’t even land it on the ocean. Shit will hit the fan.
Keep in mind that they still have TF-4 to upgrade the hardware and software in order to correct any future errors. They always manage to make huge advancements from a launch to another.
Absolutely agree that the stake’s quite high… but isn’t that the distinctive feature of Musk and his companies?
@@riccardogiorgi003 They indeed do huge advancements after each flight but what I am concerned is that if they try to catch it with the chopsticks and fail, resulting in complete demolition of the launch setup and the rocket itself, it may impact on the time they get approval from FAA for IFT-4 along with the upgrades itself. If they have a rocket in one piece, it may speed up the investigation process and give insights on how well the components have withstanded the whole ordeal and reinforce those sections if they are cutting too close to their limits even if they remain operational.
We had about 95% coverage.
The closest thing I can use to explain it. It's like living in Alaska during the winter months.
The wind picked up, temperatures dropped a little. It was like dawn or dusk. Then it was over and it was bright again.
Rocketry and space is always so cool to watch 😮. THIS SHIT IS REALLY JUST LIKE WOW.
😂 musk sell dresms like fruit loops and everyone believes him😂
It really amazes me that they can't see through the lies he's telling.
@@Truthrevealed4022
Yep Falcon 9 will NEVER be able to fly 20 times just like the naysayers said before the first landing.
@@Scanner9631 your guy started of saying last week there's no evidence of aliens. That's a lie, elon better have a talk with his handler at NASA Tim Taylor if he wants to go to the moon.
@@Scanner9631 🎱your guy started of saying last week there's no evidence of aliens. That's a lie, elon better have a talk with his handler at NASA Tim Taylor if he wants to go to the moon.

They should get Elon to rebuild that bridge that the boat crashed into he would have it redesigned, built, and opened in 6 months
Needs longer than that for the iterative design.
He would have to build a couple bridges real fast to see what breaks. But imagine the people that would tune into it blowing up 😂
He would get the boring company to make a tunnel
Is that Elon time or real world time?
Elon Starbridge 😎💪🏻
22:58 im in that shot my second totality
Hi Marcus! We watched the clouds roll in for the total eclipse midway between Toronto and Montreal in Canada. But the chaos gods were smiling as the clouds all but cleared just before totality. I am 69 and have never seen a total eclipse before, it was absolutely mesmerizing😎
After all this time, and Musk's absolutely appalling record of not delivering what he's promised - and never on the schedule promised/agreed, why do people still treat his words as if they were the sermon on the mount? A little more skepticism would go a long way.
They are just fan boys. That truly can't see through elons b.s.
Musk haters see what they want to see. They see blind support where it isn't.
Musk is a showman who uses that showmanship to promote his companies and causes. Does he exaggerate and use hyperbole? Definitely, part of being a showman.
On the other hand Tesla is the driving force behind electric cars going mainstream. SpaceX is driving improvement in the space industry that should have happened decades ago. A Falcon 9 just landed 20 times, the naysayers said it would never be able to be reused cheaper than expendable.
Will Starship ever live up to the hyperbole? Probably not. Starship however according to the naysayers would NEVER fly as the N1 "PROVED" that 30 engines couldn't work. How much more will it do? We would never know if the naysayers got their way. So go ahead criticize his failures but also applaud the successes, don't just knee jerk attack his plans while never admitting that earlier attacks were proven wrong..
@@Scanner9631 I'm not a musk hater I just dislike people who are misleading the public. Elons speech this last week truly showed how he's not being honest with the public. That was clear and plain to see.
@@Scanner9631 I am not a Musk hater - I'm not an anybody hater. But you don't have to be to see that he is not the genius engineer his fanboys think, he is a conman and a snake oil salesman. Luckily for us, he employs a lot of capable engineers and administrators. But he's still burning through US taxpayers money at an alarming rate - and is way behind on the Artemis schedule agreed with NASA.
He is not taking us to Mars, he might not even manage to take anything meaningful to the moon. But he will fill the heavens with Starlink satellites - from which he will make eye watering amounts of money.
@@Truthrevealed4022ignorant ass comment 😂
Spacex has missed every timeline objective set by NASA ,it is like watching a slow motion train wreck.Oh btw please don't delete this comment as well as we still live in a society with freedom of speech.
Nobody cares enough to delete your comment. Everybody has a right to an opinion
My brother, NASA has missed every timeline objective set by NASA. It doesn't take away from their accomplishments either.
What an action-packed video! I dont know how you do it, but I am glad you do. Thanks, Marcus!
Great update! Thanks for the info about SkyShow!
Marcus, your enthusiasm is wonderful!
Thank you for this comprehensive update!
I was at the Center of totality in upstate New York. Although cloudy, it was amazing to watch the shadow race across the clouds. Unforgettable!
Thank you for another wonderful video! And this one was indeed packed.
I don't know what to think about those SpaceX announcements. It'll be amazing when they make it all happen, but the timeline seems a little short. Sure it would be awesome for them to achieve so much, so quickly, but it seems like the overall pace depends upon the speed of testing. You can make plans and whip your engineers into a frenzy, but the universe always get the final say in each test flight. The quicker the tests, the faster everything else happens, the slower the tests...
Adieu Delta IV Heavy. You were a good rocket.
The eclipse was really an extraordinary experience , was totally dark here in Buffalo NY for a few minutes in the middle of the afternoon. A beautiflul twilight in 360 degrees. I can totally understand people that follow the eclipses.
My Saturdays do not start without Marcus!

Checked off another Bucket List item by seeing the total solar ecliipse from my home in northcentral Arkanssas. It was awesome.
The total eclipse was incredible from Dallas, Tx. Even saw shadow bands which honestly freaked me out 😂 an experience I will never forget!!
i love these updates of space-x
thanks for the great work
