I am going to post the next two upcoming launches ahead of time so people can plan to catch the live streams, it’s been a little while now since we had the shut down. That said they’ll start picking up pace again soon.

How about a trip to the edge of space in a U-2 spy plane?

I can only imagine that view, think I would :cry: .

Come to think of it, I have this print in my man cave:

I know I would too. It has to be an overwhelming feeling. Sadly, when commercial space travel is the norm, entire generations will think of it like just riding a bus.

I think it’s time to resurrect the space thread! Some incredible things are
happening these days especially with the development of Starship. I hope to see some of you return.

I’ll start with a Falcon 9 launch happening this evening, I’ll also follow up with Starship live streams from people I follow, I just find it all incredibly inspiring.

Me either, far as I am seeing the SN9 launch should be very soon
since they’ve had 2 successful static fires. It’ll be exciting and I really hope
they stick the landing this time!

The belly flop was a part of space history, that was truly something.

I’ll make sure to post the live streams soon as I see.

Another great day for space! For the first time ever SpaceX does
3 static fires in a row. This is really the beginning of preparing Starship
for rapid reuse. The ultimate goal is to be able to land & take off
multiple times in the same day with the same boosters.

Here’s some amazing slowmo 4k footage.
