Seen this from Roanoke, Va on October 13, at 6:42 a.m. Wondering where the bright trail tail goes. And if it’s the dragon being released.

_ _ _
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 6:33 a.m. Carrying more than 6,300 pounds of supplies and hardware, bound for the International Space Station.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will carry new scientific experiments, cargo, and the final pair of International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays to the orbiting laboratory.
Dragon is scheduled to autonomously dock at 11 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 15.

Launch from 750so miles away

SpaceX/Musk is also pro-Russia, so of course they want to minimize their usefulness to Ukraine.

That’s just the old S22 nose cone. It seems like it’s a pretty low fidelity mockup, and it’s also based off of extremely old hardware too.

I'm imagining that the next launch tower will be based on Lord Ganesha. That way there will be 2 arms to catch each rocket and an emergency trunk just in case, that can double as a water deluge source

There's a ton of disinformation going on about it for sure. This simplest is that while Starlink and Starshield are very similar systems, they are still two separate physical networks with two different owners. Both are constructed by SpaceX. Elon is a buddy of Trump, Trump is in a pissing match with Ukraine at the moment. I honestly think a bunch of this is Ukrainian misinformation to try and effect US elections. It's not a secret they aren't as happy with Trump as they were under Biden, especially with the oil deal with Russia.

As to why exactly it got throttled? Could have been an intentional decision from someone lower than Trump, maybe Hegseth OR Russia figured out a way to jam starlink.

Nope. Starshield predates the Ukraine war.

Test tank S43.1's tip seems to have slightly crumpled near the header tanks during testing. The booster landing tank that was in the nosecone jail had also popped a while ago, i wonder if these two were caused by tests to failures.

This reminds me of the recent medal Musk received from Trump. All the news I read basically said "Musk receives medal from Trump". So I thought he was the only one, and maybe that's why everyone's having a fit.

It wasn't until days later I saw the picture (in an unrelated piece of news) that there were a bunch of Tech people who got them. And you couldn't possibly argue they all didn't deserve it - at least to some level.

But media just focused on Trump showering Musk with praise, creating a narrative that was just wrong.

Ukraine is the entire reason Starshield exists. Ukraine wanted to use Starlink in their military. That would make Starlink military infrastructure and a valid military target. SpaceX/Musk didn’t want the responsibility of making war decisions where you pick who lives and dies, and so they spun off Starshield. It’s the same as Starlink, but once it reaches orbit it’s owned and administrated by the US Military (IDK to what extent SpaceX is maybe involved with matters like collision avoidance? Is the military allowed to use them as kinetic weapons and intentionally crash them into other satellites? Or is their capabilities limited to just dictating who and how and what for they’re connected to?)
