There’s nothing like TWENTY-SEVEN Merlin rockets firing simultaneously, at least not since the Apollo missions.

SpaceX Iridium-8 Launch
I don’t know how I missed it, but SpaceX had their 8th and final launch of Iridium’s Next satellite cluster on January 11th. As always, SpaceX live streamed the launch on YouTube.
Iridium also released a music playlist on Spotify. If you start the playlist at T-12.55 of the launch countdown, it lines up perfectly with the entire mission. You can find the playlist here.

SpaceX Dragon Resupply Mission (CRS-16)
More sciency stuff from SpaceX this week, though shame on them for cutting the camera away from Stage 1 when it started to lose control on the way back to Earth. Full video is just over half an hour.
UPDATE: Elon Musk posted video of Stage 1 stabilizing and making a soft landing in the Atlantic Ocean! The Falcon9 stage is recoverable as a result.
Engines stabilized rocket spin just in time, enabling an intact landing in water! Ships en route to rescue Falcon. pic.twitter.com/O3h8eCgGJ7
