SpaceX’s next Falcon Heavy launches will have to wait several more months after issues unrelated to the rocket forced the US military to delay two upcoming missions.

I like watching the Falcon Heavy landings. Seeing two boosters land side by side in a synchronized ballet looks spooky and post-apocalyptic.

That first one they did really was a wow moment!

Kind of a bummer, the delays. I really enjoy watching the launches.
