You would think with the sheer number of launches from the Cape effectively all vessel operators in the area would be well aware of the restrictions right? Especially those cruise vessels given they are on multi-day arrival/departure increments

Hey @thetimellis / @relativityspace: Long shot & extremely specific request; Do y'all have any media of Aeon R TCA testing (with or without the bell, any test on cell 3, doesn't strictly matter) from specifically this angle at E-1? If so could it be released? Thanks!

I love stumbling across extremely bizarre photos like this. Why did someone take a photo of a pack of double stuffed Oreos somewhere deep inside the Falcon 9 production line? We may never know

Also heavy armchair thoughts here as I'm not fully familiar with the MD11 but it seems as though the fuel supply to the aft no.2 engine (green lines) runs right next to the no.1 engine. If an event is so energetic as to completely detach the no.1 engine it may easily take out
Helluva lot of energy for the no.1 engine (which is mounted to the left side) to somehow end up on the right side of the runway. Just crazy.

Exact wording really does matter for understanding intent behind decisions. A twitter summary of the "main principles" would almost certainly be skewed one way or another especially under the current scrutiny. If everyone keeps a level head there shouldn't be a problem here.

It's weird because despite addressing it in the post (exact wording "so I am sure it is only a matter of time before it becomes public") that refers to the 62 page copy opposed to the full 100 page directory
