Towards the end for the first stage burn, the booster suffers premature shut down of an engine, the first of a Merlin 1D variant and first since the CRS-1 mission in October 2012. However, the payload still manages to reach the targeted orbit.^[351] The mission misses rocket landing, considered to be the second Starlink launch booster landing failure in a row. It is later revealed that the cause was a residual cleaning fluid trapped inside a sensor.^[352]	Kennedy Space Center (LC-39), Florida	Of Course I Still Love You autonomous spaceport drone ship

We’ve had zero serious illnesses or deaths despite working in L.A., Washington, Texas and Florida.”^[61]^[361]
2020	May 23	Notable comment	Elon Musk tweets: "We need to accelerate progress towards fully reusable rockets. Cost per ton to orbit needs to improve by >1000% from where Falcon is today for there to be a self-sustaining city on Mars", implying it is presently too costly for self-sustaining metropolis on Mars.^[362]
2020	May 30 (19:22:00)	Milestone mission (ISS crew transport)	Mission N° F9-87.^[363] Crew Dragon Demo-2 launches as a crewed flight test, transporting astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken toward the International Space Station.^[364] This mission marks the beginning of a SpaceX human spaceflight era^[365], and the first American crewed mission in years since the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program.^[366]	Kennedy Space Center (LC-39), Florida	Of Course I Still Love You autonomous spaceport drone ship

FIXME

What the timeline is still missing

Vipul: Elon Musk Is the Hero America Deserves has some tidbits of Musk's early vision and the evolution of SpaceX.
- Vipul: Maybe include a little about failed precursors or reschedulings of successful missions, when applicable? Not super-necessary but e.g. things like https://www.newscientist.com/article/2200406-spacex-crew-dragon-capsule-lost-after-anomaly-during-ground-test/ -- but up to you (also ok to defer to a future expansion!)✔ (Sebastian: I added this provided info, but I'll defer the rest to a future expansion (maybe by the end of 2020?)
- Vipul: [2] might be a useful complement to add on Musk's COVID-19 row
- Vipul: Also, I didn't find anything about the SpaceX team in the timeline, other than Musk, or their operations (offices, factories) and work culture.

 ===What the timeline is still missing===
+* Vipul: [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-05-22/elon-musk-speaks-frankly-on-coronavirus-spacex-and-rage-tweets Elon Musk Is the Hero America Deserves] has some tidbits of Musk's early vision and the evolution of SpaceX.
+** Vipul: Maybe include a little about failed precursors or reschedulings of successful missions, when applicable? Not super-necessary but e.g. things like https://www.newscientist.com/article/2200406-spacex-crew-dragon-capsule-lost-after-anomaly-during-ground-test/ -- but up to you (also ok to defer to a future expansion!)✔ (Sebastian: I added [https://www.newscientist.com/article/2200406-spacex-crew-dragon-capsule-lost-after-anomaly-during-ground-test/ this provided info], but I'll defer the rest to a future expansion (maybe by the end of 2020?)
+** Vipul: [https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/01/tech/spacex-covid-19-crew-dragon-gwynne-shotwell/index.html] might be a useful complement to add on Musk's COVID-19 row
+** Vipul: Also, I didn't find anything about the SpaceX team in the timeline, other than Musk, or their operations (offices, factories) and work culture.
