Next Interesting Launch:
Since launches from Vandenberg SFB have become so common, and since 99% of them are from SpaceX, and since
SpaceX is now posting launch schedules --
I will no longer be logging all launches. Instead, as of August 2025, I plan to only track launches that I consider
to be interesting or significant.
The next scheduled interesting launch is a F9/Starlink mission on the evening of Friday, August 29.
