    Yup, watched it with my 5 year old and 2 year old grand daughters, and their 7 year old cousin, along with my son and daughter in law. Was quite the show, and hopefully they'll remember the day.

    While waiting for the countdown (around 20 min to go), I brought up the video of the SN4 Starship prototype that exploded yesterday. The 2 year old really liked that part. https://twitter.com/NASASpaceflight/...42087848960000

    After launch, pulled up some videos of life aboard the ISS so the kids could see where the capsule was going.

    Docking is currently scheduled for 8:29am MT this morning for those who want to watch it live.

    Made more sense to post this in the launch note, but since that's locked...

    Starlink 7 launch this evening, 1925 our time.

    Same booster model that carried the astronauts a couple a days ago...

    O2

    Ps. Anyone else have a flashback to the Cylon Resurrection ship when they see this (Starlink satellites packed together immediately after deployment)?

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    Here is a cool article about a helicopter NASA built to fly on Mars. Even mentions a nuclear powered craft they want to send to Titan!

    Here's another good video on it by Veritasium, an excellent youtube channel:

    The video from the starlink deployments are incredible. Something like 60 satellites, all leaving their mount in a well-ordered line.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    The constraints they have to work with to get that thing to function are kind of mind blowing.

    JPL does just incredible engineering work.

    SpaceX SN7 tank pressure test to failure was performed yesterday.

    The result was a little surprising, but I won't add any spoilers.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Was this the same tank they tested a week or so ago that blew a hole through the top and vented that way?

    Earlier this week, SpaceX successfully did a test hop with their prototype for Starship.

    You will believe that a beer can will fly.

    Here's the official video from SpaceX of the launch and landing.
