SpaceX and other space stuff

Glad to see the mission was completed and successful.

Liked the camera shots at the end. Booster back on deck, the capsule, under 'chutes, drifting down at a lazy 16mph (26kmh) off in the distance.

The announcer was just giddy and excited to be doing her job, which is always good. Thought she was gonna have one of them thar organisms ya hear about.

Was somewhat a commercial...."imagine that landing on the moon"...

Yeah, I've heard some launches like that. It's a bit annoying to me.

Well, they did loose the moon landing contract and in litigation with NASA.

Announcner: "Look at her go!"

Me, looking at rocket: "Her?"

Astra launch in about 30 minutes or so. I think this is a test flight to orbit.

Either way with 8 successful launches/landings that rocket was clearly designed for repeated reentry.

Well... aborted right at T-:00. Pffft.

ETA: And now, scrubbed for the day. Oh well.

Ya, a letdown after watching. Just said “scub”

Sadly an unbroken record of fails for Astra

Extremely disappointed to find we have no starships, no space fighters, no death stars planned, not a phaser or photon torpedo in sight, and not even a sinister missing-then-returned mission in a decaying orbit around Neptune. What I wonder will this space command centre be doing?

UK military opens first space command centre

Ground support for 007, naturally.

Another go at the “mini me” test launch in less than a hour. Don’t hold your breath…

Don’t hold your breath…

Yeah, don't worry.

So…Apparently Space Force is part of this test launch.

And that was a weird launch! I think they terminated the launch when it was away from the land.

I thought that was going very wrong when it drifted sideways at an angle from the launch pad! I think something went wrong with 1st stage separation?
