** The Official Space Flight Thread - The Space Station and Beyond **

[visibleman]

Just checked, the real SpaceX channel hasn't posted a live stream for over 6 months...

Because Musk and Xitter, it's now streamed on there which is unfortunate. Luckily there are a few reputable Youtubers with decent streams, like Everyday Astronaut and NSF (YT Links).

Inside T-0:05:00 now.

*excitement intensifies*

 

[darkgen]

I keep forgetting where we’re up to with this? What’s the mission - to orbit the earth and land again?

Not orbit. Just up to space, most of a lap, down into the ocean IIRC.

 

[JRS]

Ignition!

Go baby go! All 33 engines on the booster stage lit.

 

[ic1male]

I’m still agog at how they get these boosters to land on target so well.

 

[JRS]

MECO. And hot staging!

 

[bliss]

All going smoothly so far!

Edit: booster looked a little wobbly

 

[ic1male]

Whoops spoke too soon, I think the booster crashed.

 

[darkgen]

Booster def had a wobble on before it kissed the sea.

 

[JRS]

Some incredible views. An onboard of the booster heading all the way to the scene of the accident!

All the Musk haters going to be unhappy today.

TwitterX thread is over there, keep this crap out of the space thread

 

[JRS]

SECO!

 

[robfosters]

Has it blown up yet?

 

[Hodders]

I find the whooping and cheering on the SpaceX feed just so irritating.

Grid fin moves - whoop whoop cheer cheer

What's wrong with a quiet understated round of applause.

 

[JRS]

Has it blown up yet?

Battering along at ~26,400km/h, 165km up.

 

[darkgen]

Live views are unreal from the Starship itself. Is this all being relayed via Starlink?

People are excited about their work, what's wrong with that?

Yikes, elevator music, What a jape!
