It was 24 satellites for the Airforce. What is amazing is the 3 rocket boosters that come off the rocket 2 land back on land and 1 on a barge out at sea so they can be reused again.
It's pretty busy up there isn't there?
I googled it, couldn't find any mention of the astronauts but I assume it wasn't unmanned.
Seems that the one of the boosters (or maybe some other bit) was lost at sea this time.

Good morning all it's cloudy but muggy today.
Sun on its way for a few days, but temps not too bad - max of 24C/75F and quite breezy.
It will be hotter in my garden though as it's pretty sheltered.
Hope everyone has a good Weds.

Back from a great morning of kayaking. Lots of Snowy Egrets, Blue Herons, Green Herons, and of course Bald Eagles. It was hot hot Hot out there by the time I turned around. Calm waters, fish jumping, warm water.

Oghhhh, and look what I found and picked up on the way home. More Cedar!

And this is how the projects start.....

View attachment 275445 View attachment 275442 View attachment 275442 View attachment 275444 @Cathie G i also found some amphibians today while out for a dog walk/dandelion hunt, they were tiny frogs and I’m not sure what species they are. Usually you don’t pic them up as human skin absorbs moisture from their bodies over a certain period but today I couldn’t help myself, they were on my hand for a couple seconds before hopping of.
Oh it is so cute. Ours when I do see them are also that small.

They are youngsters I believe as you can see the little stump where the tail used to be, I may be wrong though. One thing I found odd though is that they were not afraid of me and carried on catching insects the second they hopped of.

They did look pretty skinny.

I am pretty sure they are unmanned. They have had a problem before with the landing of the booster at sea. A few weeks ago the rocket that launched had 60 satellites to upgrade the internet around the world.
