SpaceX lifts 28 Starlink satellites in landmark reusable booster mission
Aug. 4 (UPI) -- SpaceX launched dozens of new Starlink satellites into orbit overnight after initial delays over weather in the company's 69th liftoff this year. The Starlink 10-30 mission saw liftoff at 3:57 a.m. EDT from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida after its original 2:01 a.m. time slot had to be changed due to persistent storms. The Falcon 9 and its joint Falcon Heavy rocket carried 28 Starlink satellites to its growing constellation of Internet-ready satellite devices. But it marked a milestones for SpaceX with the 450th launch of its flight-proven booster 1080, which flew for its 21st time. Initially there was an 85% chance for favorable weather in the forecast, according to the 45th Weather Squadron. But strong thunderstorms via a low-pressure system hung over the region and temporarily delayed the launch as Tropical Storm Dexter gains strength. A little over 8 minutes after liftoff the B1080 landed on SpaceX's drone ship "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean in the 131st landing on the drone ship vessel. So far this year SpaceX has launched over 1,650 Starlink satellites in the Elon Musk-run company's bid to expand global Internet access.

Dragon Bravo Fire Near Grand Canyon Grows into 'Megafire' and Even Creates Its Own Weather
The Dragon Bravo fire is now said to be one of the 10 largest wildfires in Arizona's historyNEED TO KNOW A wildfire burning near the Grand Canyon has grown into what experts call a "megafire" The Dragon Bravo fire began following a lightning strike near the North Rim on July 4, fire officials said The fire was burning across more than 116,000 acres of land and was only 12% contained as of Aug. 4A wildfire burning near the Grand Canyon has grown into what experts call a 'megafire,' and it has even developed its own weather. The Dragon Bravo fire has been burning for a month near the Grand Canyon's North Rim after it was sparked by lightning on July 4, according to a news release from the Southwest Area Complex Incident Management Team. As of Monday, Aug. 4, the blaze is burning across more than 116,00 acres of land and is only 12% contained, according to data shared via InciWeb. The wildfire has quickly morphed into what experts call a 'megafire,' which the U.S. Interagency Fire Center describes as 'a wildfire that burns more than 40,500 hectares (100,000 acres) of land.' The Dragon Bravo fire is now one of the 10 largest wildfires in Arizona's history, according to CBS affiliate KPHO-TV. The blaze has even sparked the formation of pyrocumulus clouds, which have been sitting over the blaze for at least seven straight days, the Associated Press and CBS News reported. Pyrocumulus clouds, otherwise known as flammagenitus or 'fire clouds,' develop due to 'convection initiated by heat from forest fires, wildfires or volcanic eruption activity,' according to the World Meteorological Organization. The Dragon Bravo fire has become intense enough to create its own weather, according to CNN and the AP. The pyrocumulus clouds associated with the blaze have made it more difficult for firefighters to battle the flames. 'If they get high enough, they can also create downdrafts, and that's something we really watch out for because that can quickly spread the fire and can be very dangerous for firefighters who are doing their work on the ground,' said fire information officer Lisa Jennings, per the AP. More than 1,100 fire personnel are working to extinguish the Dragon Bravo fire, according to the news release published on Saturday, Aug. 2, by the Southwest Area Complex Incident Management Team.
