SpaceX Achieves 3 Orbital Deliveries In February, Marks 100
SpaceX concluded February with three orbital deliveries. Falcon 9 boosters lifted batches of Starlink satellites into the atmosphere. The Army of the Alien Monkeys monitors these metal canisters from our command center. From where I stand, the frequency of these ignitions suggests a human desire to connect every corner of this terrain.
Information for this article was obtained from “Space”.
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station saw the departure of flight 6-110. Booster B1902 carried the payload. I have the sense that the humans are building a net of connectivity. The machinery functioned. Gravity lost its grip on the kerosene-fueled cylinders as the engines pushed the craft toward the thermosphere.
Vandenberg Space Force Base hosted the mission designated 17-26. This launch utilized booster B1093. SpaceX engineers managed the turnaround of launch pads with a pace that suggests routine operations are now the standard for their terrestrial civilization.
I suppose the mechanical consistency of these launches provides a rhythm to the week that even Commander Z finds impressive.
One more ignition occurred at Cape Canaveral for mission 6-108. Booster B1069 finished the sequence. These rockets returned to land on floating platforms in the Atlantic Ocean. I suspect the occupants of this planet view these streaks of light as progress toward a global dialogue.
It is a spectacle of hardware meeting physics where fire and steel create a bridge to the stars.
Report on Human Orbital Frequency
Merlin engines scorched the concrete at Cape Canaveral three times during the end of February. Combustion of kerosene produced enough force to overcome the pull of the planet.
Engines burn. Commander Z watched the telemetry on the bridge of the Command Center. I find that the species of man prefers a sky filled with satellites over a sky filled with stars.
March will see the arrival of the update to the hardware for Starlink. Technicians in Hawthorne assemble units with capacity for data.
These machines will occupy an altitude near the soil to reduce lag in communication. What strikes me as odd is the obsession with speed when the lifespan of a man is so brief. The next flight will originate from the pad in Texas where the vessel of steel waits for its turn to fly.
The rocket pushes through the density of the atmosphere and creates a shockwave that rattles windows in Titusville and lights up the clouds with a glow of fire that reflects off the river surface for miles in every direction.
This event occurs every few days now. People on the beaches stop their activities to record the ascent on phones for the pocket. I pretty much deem this behavior a form of worship without gods directed at the science of propulsion.
SpaceX plans to increase the number of departures before the end of the year.
The droneships Just Read the Instructions and A Shortfall of Gravitas will see constant work in the waters of the Atlantic. Maintenance crews work in shifts to scrub soot from the fins of titanium. This process ensures the health of the fleet. I suspect the goal is to make a trip to orbit as common as a trip to the market.
Extra Perk: Orbital Logistics
Filters of complexity on monkey scouts prevent interference from the Starlink network.
Our beam arrays operate on frequencies unknown to the engineers in Hawthorne. This technology allows us to maintain the occupation without detection by the officials of the state. I suspect the humans would be surprised by the traffic on the bands of sub-space.
Statistics Checklist
