I feel like there's a better tweet/quote out there somewhere which says it for all launches, but you know, limited time to search for it and all.. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1364470475620044802?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1364470475620044802%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.nasaspaceflight.com%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D47352.260 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1364470475620044802?ref_...
