Oh no! Where will I go to see OF spam bots now???
They transmit T cruzi (Chagas’ disease), which can cause heart failure
On the last test flight a few weeks ago both the booster and ship did powered soft landings in the ocean (even with the ship’s flap melting a bit)

Mercury would be a denser propellant than xenon/other Nobel gasses used for ion thrusters in orbit. There’s been a ton of other insane fuel types proposed over the years which thankfully haven’t been used (although a lot of rockets have and still use toxic hypergolic fuels like hydrazine)

Some nice colors in the sky If you’re north enough. Sadly I doubt this will be as strong as the aurora back in May, but maybe one day well get them down in Atlanta again
