Approx 11 minutes to launch.

All systems are go.

Let's light this candle.

I'd forgotten just how rapid the Atlas V really is.

Crew-1 mission to the ISS is to launch atop a Falcon 9 soon.

I think the official SpaceX stream will be popping up later, doesn't seem to work at the moment.

According to the BBC the launch is scheduled for 00:27 GMT so you're a bit early. Sadly I'll be tucked up in bed so if the weather allows I'll have to watch the re-run

Instantaneous launch window for Crew 1 starts at 00:27 UTC

Maybe an issue with the door seal. Iirc they had issues with the door for the dm-2 flight also.

Edit: Just a little debris.

I don't understood why SpaceX never have a HD stream.

The_One · 16 Nov 2020 at 00:27

here we go :cool:

Flibster · 16 Nov 2020 at 00:28

Not even gravity contains humanity when we explore as one for all

What?

It's usually 1080p when spacex are launching their own private missions. However dated tech limits the stream to 720p when doing manned launches for NASA. I'm guessing spacex piggybacks NASA instead of using there own cameras etc. Have a feeling I've heard this mentioned before on an everyday astronaut stream.

i wonder if there'll be as many fake claims as there is for the US landing.

Looks like SpaceX SN8 15km hop has been postponed from tonight for another 3 days?

PlacidCasual · 4 Dec 2020 at 13:54

Bummer, was really looking forward to this today.

Stu999 · 6 Dec 2020 at 16:38

Space X stuck the landing again on the Cargo Dragon launch.

Now lets see if they stick the landing with tomorrows possible Starship flight. I'm gonna go with less that 10% chance it does.

Took long enough to land a falcon 9 and with the new belly flop maneuver, this is will be a whole new ball game.

neil_g · 7 Dec 2020 at 09:12

Now looking like Tues night
