It's flying over this gulag BTW, if it goes wrong you might find some rocket parts in your back yard.

Quotations

Can't wait for this tonight. Thanks

Do you think Elon 'pedo guy' musk is remaining sober for the day? Probably dosing all morning?

Any room for Holohan and Harris on there?

We might also get a view of Crew Dragon chasing the ISS over Ireland at about 9:40pm

Less than an hour to launch.


This is the NASA stream without all the normie commentary:

When Columbia launched it fell in people's back yards, some didn't want to give the pieces to the government. Bring out a big net.

Boeing on suicide watch

Make your predictions now. My bet is:
- it will explode at the launchpad
- if not that then at max Q

This is going to be postponed due to weather by the sounds of things.

Thats a no lose bet.

If you take it literally, Boeing just need to get something owned by the company to mars (or if you go mega literally, their whole company and every employee) before Elon Musk personally goes there.

Yes, Boeing sucks in general. First the MCAS fiasco, then their competing space craft failed also because of a software issue. It looks like the financiers have taken over and gauged out the company to the point they can't make working stuff any more.

Pity was really looking forward to this.

Weather doesn't look great for Saturday either tbh. Touch and go.

Well then it'll be Sunday. Better to be safe then be Apollo 12.

I was going to say he had a wasted trip to Florida, but no, as luck would have it, his "residence" , Mar A Lago is there. Result.

They say if the launch fails the astronauts might end near Shannon.
