Remotes are in for Starlink-1! Some failures on some cameras, but make the best with what you’ve got! pic.twitter.com/KGGab3Fvcv

On one of my Arabsat-6A remotes, a blade of grass laid just the wrong way to cover up Falcon Heavy. Not today! Today, the tall grasses at @SpaceX’s SLC-40 were perfect👌🏼
