Here's an amazing view of the launch from a bit further out

Shows how much light that booster gives off! Night to Day!.

Probably not the right thread but northern lights showing big time in Scotland. If you up that way go look north!

 

[grunge]

Holy crap… northern lights as far south as Kent. Cloudy in Manchester tho :(

Also reports in Reading and Essex.

Fook off clouds.

As this thread has had a timely bump might as well post this for the early birds. Crew-6 is due to launch in early hours of Monday morning, 01:45 EST which I believe is 06:45 UK time.

As this thread has had a timely bump might as well post this for the early birds. Crew-6 is due to launch in early hours of Monday morning, 01:45 EST which I believe is 06:45 UK time.

Launch was scrubbed due to a technical issue. There was a concern with the TEA-TEB system used to ignite the Falcon 9's main engines.

Next attempt scheduled for Thursday pending resolution of the issue.

Crew-6 mission got off okay this morning. In the meantime also saw this quite eye-catching timeline video of SpaceX launches to date.

Musk pretty much said as long as it gets some way off the ground and doesn’t blow up the whole launch pad, that is some sort of win!

Now wishing it to burrow to the core of the earth.

To be fair he says that for every test launch :). anything that happens provides data to improve on.

The NASA SLS rocket looked huge on the launch pad, this doesn’t even though it’s the largest rocket ever built. Should hopefully go off with a safely controlled bang when it launches.

If his tinkering with Twitter over the last few months is anything to go by this could be a spectacular disaster.

Booooo

The more he's involved in Twitter the less he's sticking his oar in at SpaceX so a win there really
