Five years went by too fast! Falcon Heavy will always be one of the greatest experiences in my life. The uncertainty was palpable, so many things could go wrong above 39A. I'll never forget the feeling of relief seeing those 27 Merlins clear the tower.

Balloon shootdown from 100 miles inland. 4x speed for short attention spans.
Lack of a pointy end didn't slow me down, but 100 miles of air did me no favors.😅

A week on from our first U.S. launch and all three sats are happily settled in space. Not only did we provide the ride on Electron, but our separation systems also released the payloads on orbit - maintaining our 100% mission success record for our sep systems.

Our first mission from LC-2 was also the very first launch of 's Autonomous Flight Termination Unit - a safety system designed to be used by any launch provider at all U.S. ranges, playing a big role in modernizing the nation's launch ranges. go.nasa.gov/3kORAhW

So by developing our own automated system for Electron, and also partnering with NASA to develop one designed for all vehicles and all U.S. ranges, we're playing a key role in helping to increase launch cadence, boost safety, and get more spacecraft to orbit.

This camera was clamped 80 feet up to the MARS water tower looking down at Electron!
It was placed before the rocket went vertical so it was mostly a guessing game on where exactly to point. Glad I guessed right!
