Space X

 Does anyone know if the capsule CG is offset to allow a bit of Cl to increase the footprint like Gemini or Apollo? Or is the re-entry and splashdown totally ballistic?

You're a lot more than this to me OG!  It was you that inspired my FIRST WIP a Monogram P-61 Black Widow.  And you continue to have a great influence on me, and my future with Mrs. Toshi and Ezra.  Thank you for everything sir! Sensei OG.  Good luck with Space X!

I have seen plenty of launches from Vandenberg at my old houses over the years. And yes, seeing one come back home was very impressive stuff. 

I don’t think that they will ever go full bore for launches out of Vandenberg. Kennedy appeared to be ramping up for more capacity when I was there a couple of years ago. I think that the Air Force prefers the comparative isolation of Vandenberg for their classified mission launches.

Musk is developing Boca Chica, Texas on South Padre Island as his new commercial space port.  Located between Corpus Christi and Brownsville.    He has been building & testing the Hopper there

Used to go visit the in-laws in Titusville and watch the shots from the front porch.

Stay Safe.

I'm waiting for the launch.  All I have to do is watch the countdown on T,V, and when it fires, open my fromt door and walk outside.  The Cape is only 60 miles away so if the clouds don't get in teh way, we have a nice view as it clears the trees.

When we had the shuttles on a quiet night sometimes you could hear them go up.
