Good morning Sars.

Provided it's not delayed AGAIN, the Falcon 9 will launch from Cape Canaveral USSF base as part of the Galileo initiative by the EU to create their own version of GPS.

Launch time is scheduled for 6:51 PM EST. Most streams are planning to go live an hour ahead of time.
 
Anyone seen the new comet yet? Think mainly southern hemisphere at the moment, but anyone see it in the north? Tsuchinsan-ATLAS.
 
The next ISS mission launches from Cape Canaveral today, right?

Good launch. I gotta admit, Elon Musk for all his faults has built something really cool with SpaceX. Its the sort of institution that will outlive its founder. The biggest barrier to something like this is the cost of entry. And he paid that shit up front. Now SpaceX has its facilities, its proprietary vehicles, revenue streams from government/corporate contracts and consumer internet service by Starlink and so on. Its a going concern in private space services and engineering and that is something really amazing.
 
Pretty good.

I thought the chopsticks were catching the gasoline can by the fins, what with their ability to sustain significant aerodynamic loading, but no apparently there are little ears it gets caught by instead. Fucking kino.

Anyone not watching along to Clear is missing out.
