Hmm, tesseractsh.itjust.works and tesseract.itjust.works seem a bit long. What about '4', or '4d', as a reference to the mathematical shape of the tesseract?

Alternatively, a simple 't', for 'tesseract' could work nicely.

M-vac shutdown, nominal orbital insertion.

Stage 1 landing confirmed!

MECO, stage separation, M-vac ignition, and fairing separation.

Starbase activities (2024-11-08):

  • Sanchez: Launch mount B construction continues. The third (of four) side sections is lifted into position. (ViX)
  • Build site: Overnight, scaffolding is removed from S31. (ViX)
  • Hot stage adapter moves from Starfactory towards Megabay 1. (ViX 1, ViX 2)
  • CO2 tank is lifted, presumably up to B13. (ViX)
  • Boxes labeled SN1 and SN2 are spotted. (LabPadre)
  • Two SPMTs arrive at the build site. The LTR1220 crane shifts some of the counterweights, and the SPMTs enter the Highbay. (ViX 1, ViX 2)

Starting propellant load for tonight's Falcon 9 launch of 20 @Starlink satellites, west coast weather conditions are ideal for liftoff in ~35 minutes

 
 

Context:

Also last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Boeing is considering putting some of its space businesses, including Starliner, up for sale.
