I would doubt that is an actual live feed. I don't believe we are capable from the existing rovers. But regardless, that is a gold post, and a gold YouTube site. Completely awesome images.

In the images I just looked at, the dirt looked so wet - like mud, or clay. Amazing.

SN6 is loaded and venting! Hop iminent!

Meh, now they've backed off to the base "pad clear" state and folks went in to fiddle around, it'll be a while yet.

With all the poop on a bazillion TV channels, why can't one channel broadcast every drop of all of this?

SN6 maybe getting close again...

I reckon 3.05 UTC is 11.05PM ET but it might be too windy still?

 

[bholder]

Maybe 10 minutes now, siren just sounded...
...and another delay...

 

[SBassman]

What's the latest on SN6?

 

[StereoPlayer]

SN6 scrubbed for today. Tomorrow is the next try.

SAOCOM 1B looking good - first stage up and back landed already. Waiting on 2nd stage orbital insertion verification.
Edit: Orbit confirmed, SAOCOM 1B deployed successfully, another hour's coast before deploying 2 more rideshares.
