I'm presuming so. I've seen one rocket launch from Wallops Island a few years ago, but never anything from Cape Canaveral until now. Just glad they're all outbound and not inbound.

I suddenly want to wear a big fish head mask and yell out "Call up a Hammerhead Corvette!" hehe
Impact velocity is 4 miles per second! WHAM!
Congrats to the DART team. I can't wait for the images from the LICIA cubesat that DART launched. Some of those may be as early as tonight. And then the HERA mission in a couple of years. Till then, I'm pretty sure this is what Dimorphos looks like now...
Here's a timelapse from a ground telescope observation if the DART impact. Gonna be cool when the other telescopes start getting put online.

Here are the first images from DART's companion LICIAcube satellite. There should be more coming as LICIAcube orbits Didymos and whatever is left of Dimorphos.

Firefly (love the name) Aerospace launched successfully from Vandenberg. I guess Kaylee got it right this time. And their first stage engines are called "Reaver".

Kudos to you for today's random Firefly TV series reference and Firefly Aerospace for their engine naming convention and successful launch.Firefly (love the name) Aerospace launched successfully from Vandenberg.

According to a wiki article on Firefly Aerospace, their next generation rocket engine will be called Miranda. Shiny!
Pretty floral bonnets all around!

Great show! One of my fav's. "Wash" is SYFY Network's Resident Alien. "I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."
