starlink deluge test and 33 (-2) engine static fire

I know it is a bit off topic for nanog, but this test was very exciting today: https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1695158759717474379 Happy friday! While they have filed for a launch license for august 31st, it is impossible for me to believe that date! It was also difficult to believe the deluge ("bidet") system would actually work. I look forward to a launch vehicle capable of putting up the next generation of starlink sats which are estimated to have 4x the capacity of the old, and further improvements on their wifi, backbone and satellite switching technologies. -- Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxmoBr4cBKg Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos
