More stuff being launched by man with spazzy arms into space, rolling Kessler dice agian.

"Vandenberg Space Force Base Guardians and Airmen are scheduled to support the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, Thursday, October 30th, between 1:06 - 5:06 p.m. PT from Space Launch Complex 4 East.

Based on Vandenberg SFB's updated audibility modeling, launch-related noise may be audible along the Central Coast from Santa Maria to Oxnard, with a sonic boom most likely to be heard in Santa Barbara, Ojai, and Ventura.""
