 The U.S. military's secret of X-37B robot spaceplane blasted off from Florida on December 28 night on its seventh mission, the first launch to top a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket capable of delivering it to a higher orbit than ever before of the Falcon Heavy, composed of three rocket cores strapped together, roared off its launch pad from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in a spectacular nighttime lift-off carried live on a SpaceX webcast. Following the X-37BS launch, the Falcon's side boosters returned safely to Earth, the launch followed more than two weeks of false starts and delays. Three earlier countdowns were aborted due to poor weather and unspecified technical issues, leading ground crews to roll the spacecraft back to its hangar before proceeding with Thursday's fight. It came two weeks after China's own robot spaceplane, known as the Shenlong, or Divine Dragon, was launched on its third mission to orbit since 2020, adding a new twist to the growing U.S. sign of rivalry in space. For BIKO, separation of the side boosters followed by a side booster boost backburn startup and then the center core main engine cutoff, or MIKO. Now again, those are a few events coming up here, BIKO side booster separation, that will be the separation from the center core. The center core will continue to carry stage two with the payload until it, like you see on a Falcon 9. And there you can see on your screen, on your right hand screen, some views from the side boosters, and a really awesome view of Falcon Heavy on your left hand screen with all of those engines burning really bright there. Coming up on MIKO, BIKO, in a few seconds here. This engine cutoff, side booster separation confirmed. Coming up are a few events in rapid succession, that will be the conclusion of the side boosters boost backburn, MIKO, stage two. Stage booster boost back shutdown. Stage separation confirmed. And there we were also able to see and hear the callouts for, and there's that callout that the entry burns have begun on the side boosters. And there you can see on your screen, you can see on your screen, the engines have reignited booster entry burn shutdown, landing zone one and landing zone two for today's landings. And we heard that callout, and you can see on your screen that the engines have reignited. Let's watch as the side boosters touch down for landing. Stage two is a thermal guidance.
