Rocket launches LIVE.

Was a magic night on youtube!
The last hour or so where it was just off the back of the space station was incredible...looked like it was just motionless hanging in the black velvet of space yet in reality it was doing about 37000kph.

I hope some one somewhere managed to image it in a large scope. No passes over here for a week or so.

Spacex has been posting highlight videos on youtube.

Starship SN 5 finished stacking in the high bay, SN6 nearly complete next to it and SN7 starting to be stacked outside.

Love to have toys like this in my man cave.

Space flight history quiz. Why did the USSR's lack of nuclear weapon tech help them to launch the first human into orbit?

 

[Ramjet]

Some will get it.

Another first for Spacex. The booster used in today's Starlink launch has made to trip to space and back 5 times.

A couple of Elon tweets.

Building a super high bay in Boca Chica soon to stack the super heavy booster.

Asked if Starship would launch from Boca Chica, Pad 39a or a seas based platform. "Pursuing all 3."

Countdown resumed - preparing for launch.

Launch has been stood down for today owing to high winds.

 

[Ramjet]

Yep. I like watching Tim's stream. He has a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm.

:| Tim has lost me.... I can't stand his ranting, thanking people and his Tec issues.. Lost me launch before last, so I just went to NASA Live for the Crewed Launch.... I want to watch and listen and it was far better... At least they don't talk over 'Mission Control'... They ARE Mission Control.... :lol:

LW...

 

[Ramjet]

Bugger. I learn a lot from Tim.

 

[LONEWOLF]

I know you have a soft spot for Timmy... :inlove:

Kevin... Spacexcentric . His personality annoys me but I watch his videos as he gives info thst we don't see elsewhere

Looks like a busy day ahead for space travel:

 

[Ramjet]

Yes. There is another small rocket launching as well. I'll try find some info.

Spacex has rolled SN 7 to the test area. SN5 and SN6 are full sized Starships. It is assumed the smaller SN7 will be used to test the quick release fuel lines which were the cause of SN4's RUD. Why blow up a full stack?

 

[Ramjet]

Electron launch pushed back a little due to weather.

Good video from Scott Manley showing some awesome Spacex videos from the fairing. So cool.

Outstanding footage from Spacex. The cameras are not cutting out as they previously. Just amazing that we can see this all live.
