I witnessed it for the first time last night, around 6:30. They were still close.

Just looking at orbital launches, which I know is Bob’s rule, they have 14 launches to go in 39 days if they want to hit 100 for the year.

Well, for the record, SpaceX has launched 16 times in the last 39 days.

I really think they’re gonna hit it. All along, I’ve been thinking they’d end up around 90. But they have really cranked it up this fall. Just amazing to behold.
