SpaceX and other space stuff

#4,185
Well, this is interesting. For all the tumult and ballyhoo ("tell me you're old without telling me you're old") about SpaceX launch "official" streams only being shown on Xitter, SpaceX has a 'tube channel that seems to be preparing to show the launch.





Just in case this turns out to be a shell game, here's the NSF stream as well:





Quite foggy out there this morning, but at the moment, the NSF guy is saying SpaceX is projecting a 70% chance of launch, so... stay tuned. :thumbsup:

Ah, bless the boys at NSF, and their diagrams that make one wonder if Starship runs on giant "C" batteries... :roflmao:

It’s weird on stream say they are minutes away from launch. . The other says about an hour away.

Oh, most definitely. The fan casts - again, bless their enthusiasm and willingness to put them on - have some guys who get so screechy and hyper in their excitement, it's annoying. No dispute of that here, and plenty of discussion about it over on Ars as well. The NSF guys are less bothersome than some of the other fan channels, at least.

Access and "official-ness" notwithstanding, Xitter's stream quality just hasn't been as good though, so I tend to follow video quality. At this point, it's basically a pick-your-poison situation. :thumbsdown:

ETA: Okay, now I've caved, gone to look at the Xitter feed, and see the image quality has been improved. Fine. :wacky:

:meh:
