Ouch. They'll be primed to deliver tons of Amazon satellites once the hold clears, which might not be until next year, but are going to really suffer until then.

I'm sure the NRE would be annoying, but it would feel good to see a second SRB supplier like Ursa Major, team up.

    Huge! If SpaceX pulls off a ship catch, it'll be one of the biggest milestones and achievements for the program so far. Or, if they miss too late, potentially one of the biggest disasters if they take out launch infrastructure. Excitement guaranteed.

    At the same time, it's depressing to see the 1st stage seemingly take a step back. Hopefully this is just a reset to a new local minimum on the way to a higher local maximum.

    I've lived in multiple apartments with outdoor parking and fairly short commutes where this would have solved all of my weekly charging needs.

    I also think about systems like this for camping and road tripping that I do. Extra power at the campsite is cool, and it would add peace of mind about not getting stranded.
