First booster to 8. (I checked – about 90 days since last flight, so no turn around record).

8 is NOT enough.

Things have changed.
Musk is just declared world’s wealthiest man, ArianeSpace seems to be launching more Soyuz rockets than their own, and NASA mutters maybe they can launch SLS by the end of the year, or maybe not.

PS: Bob, several weeks ago my kid got a cold – sore throat, sniffles, headache. She was fine in a couple of days.
Then I got the same but after a few days the sore throat got better but I felt achy and tired – got tested, Covid detected.
I’m fine now (it was like a moderate flu) but I also suggest you get tested. Also recommend Vitamin D3 if you’re not getting a lot of sunshine (really should have your blood level checked).
