Falcon 9 Axiom-3 — Booster Risk, Backup Window — a sealed, dated forecast (LA-004), graded against the public record with a SHA-256 + Bitcoin-anchored…

Sealed claim: Good evening @SpaceX and @Axiom_Space. The auspiciousness of the chosen launch time of 5:11 PM ET on Jan 17 is mostly OK but it carries an unnecessary risk to the launch vehicle, which we could do without. The Dragon-2 spacecraft will perform nominally and successfully dock with the ISS on schedule. However, there is an unnecessary risk to the nominal flight of the usually reliable flight of the Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket. There is a potential for over-heating during re-entry and sub-optimal landing where the launch vehicle might sustain damage by splashing into the ocean near Landing Zone 1. While there will be no impact to the overall success of the mission to the ISS, it would be an unnecessary blemish on the stellar record of the Falcon 9 rocket. In comparison, the backup launch time of 4:49 PM ET on Jan 18 is more auspicious and will promote success without the likelihood of the aforementioned drama! As such, I would strongly recommend moving the launch to the backup time. This is likely easier on the astronauts as well. Good luck. I'm copying a few folks here who might benefit from this reading: @elonmusk @torybruno @jeffbezos @Gwynne_Shotwell @ulalaunch @astrobotic @nasa @isro @blueorigin @virgingalactic @narendramodi @DrSJaishankar. Thanks and have an auspicious launch. Good night! 🙏
