Amazing video of this morning's SpaceX launch, as seen from just north of Atlanta. Video accelerated 15x. Booster separation and boostback burn visible to the right at the outset.

Do yourself a favor and check out the new documentary “Music by John Williams” on Disney+. What an absolute genius that man is. / Music By John Williams | Official Trailer | Disney+ youtu.be/sNRoB6WmqEw?si=3y5t… via @YouTube

I might have bought it if I didn’t already own two earlier editions. Still might.

So pleasantly surprised to run across a beautiful 50th anniversary edition of this wonderful novel in a local bookstore. I couldn’t agree more with Stephen King’s endorsement: it is THE great time-travel story.

David McCullough's delightful account of Teddy Roosevelt's visit to Panama during construction of the Panama Canal (from *The Path between the Seas*).
