@elonmusk Uh… why that high for a geostationary satellite launch? o_O

Easier to make the plane change to equatorial orbit. Done in order to reduce satellite side delta V from 1800 m/s to 1500 m/s.

Will be toughest mission to date. Requires coast + upper stage restart + going to 80,000 km altitude (~1/4 way to moon).

What makes this incredibly unjust is that the Model S to date has the best safety record of any car on the road (no injuries or deaths ever)

Why does a Tesla fire w no injury get more media headlines than 100,000 gas car fires that kill 100s of people per year?
