Live rocket launch

[JamesF]

Looks like there's another SpaceX launch on Thursday, this time with the first stage landing back at Cape Canaveral.  India have a launch the same day, too.  No idea if that is livestreamed though.

Hold at t-1.53. Now put back to T-45.

Hopefully you managed to miss the vomit-inducing NRO puff.

[JamesF]

Missed the first attempt because I was swimming, but I see it's still at T-45.  Do we know why?  I was thinking it might be the weather.  It looks fairly poor in the Space-X stream.

[JamesF]

Ah, over-pressure indication on O2, someone claims.

James

[JamesF]

Game over for today then.  Better luck tomorrow.

[DaveS]

Finally aborted. Will be trying again tomorrow.

Snap!

Classified reconnaissance satellite 🙄 Yet more pointless garbage going up there so everyone can have a nosey at what everyone else is doing, ruining the night sky in the process, courtesy of elon musk.

Roughly one in six US satellites are military, although that proportion is declining rapidly. I’m concerned about any military use of space, but not too worried by one more dot up there. Nevertheless, it is inspiring to see the flawless operation of SpaceX rockets, personally it makes me hopeful for the future.

[DaveS]

I was hoping to see it blow up on the launchpad and trash more military trash.

That would have being the best outcome imo, It sickens me on how much money & time is wasted on trying to kill each other.

Proper Thunderbirds stuff.........

[John]

Great landings too !

They must be very chuffed with that

[Space Hopper]

The wind above the landing pad nearly blew it over, i thought it was going to crash, but it managed to stay upright. Just. Amazing stuff.

Did the retro thrusters fire for the crew capsule? Looked like a hard landing to me...
