After a successful launch, Rocket Lab's moon orbit mission is now underway.

A great achievement for the small rocket.

SpaceX may actually fly their Starship to orbit in the coming weeks. Elon says July but Elon time is always a bit optimistic. Will be a magnificent sight.

 

[LONEWOLF]

It was good to see Aussies fly....

Falcon Heavy should be launching soon as well, but I haven't seen anything on that for ages... ...

[LONEWOLF]

Getting ready.... Not long now... Maybe next week ? but no application has been made as yet to fly... Watching very closely for the Approval...

GO STARSHIP... FLY BABY FLY...


Elon has been quoted as saying, "Who cares if it blows up, at least we know what works.."

[Wishfull]

Does anyone know if there supposed to be debris from a Chinese rocket falling near Taiwan in the next few days ? as there is a warning out for the north part of Taiwan atm

 

[LONEWOLF]

Don't know???? Interesting as most 'space junk' has a wide possible landing area , Not a specific area... Strange...

Maybe China, playing games again... Poking the Bear so to speak...

Looks like We have a Launch date for Starship...
This launch represents the first time a Starship prototype booster and ship will fly together on a flight which may not complete a full orbit. As this is a test program, any dates and times are simply an estimate based on publicly known information.

The launch date is currently targeted for Monday, April 17, 2023 at 12:00 PM (UTC). or 10pm our time... Qld time..

That link is live now. Launch is scheduled in 21 minutes according to the live feed.

 

[LONEWOLF]

Looks like it will be scrubbed for today... A pressurizing issue... going ahead until 10sec, then a clock re-set and try in 24-48hrs time...

LW...

 

[grubstake]

Yes, they're not going to launch.

 

[LONEWOLF]

Going to try in 48hrs time... Oh well at least I have a nice warm Pie to eat before Bed...

Sorry guys, hope it blows up. Space should not be for private profit. Obviously we can’t can’t stop governments but shouldn’t be available for businesses to put all their shit up there in the name of profit. Kids in the city now cannot see the wonderful night sky. Soon all we will have is a view of Elon and Jeff’s satellites.
Speaking as an amateur astrophotographer of course.

 

[LONEWOLF]

I understand your point but you can't stop Progress... I even saw a line of Starlink sats last week and yes they would be annoying ...

LW...

 

[LONEWOLF]

Ok sorry for the late notice , but we might have a launch tonight at 11.20pm for Starship 2.0... Hope the Fog clears for a good View...

Fingers crossed this time... Broadcast starts in 2hrs time....

[LONEWOLF]

How many tankers does it take to fill Starship ?

Quite a few by the looks of it .



No wonder the turn-around is 48hrs + long...

[Manpa]

They need to make an EV rocket!

Kids in the city haven't seen the night sky for 50yrs.... Light Poisoning has been around a lot longer than Elon...

Elon has given the World Internet through His Starlink Program... So many countries now have Internet because He has done something about it with his Own $$$...
Lots of 3rd World countries now have a reliable internet system.... If it wasn't for Elon diverting a Starlink launch to help Ukraine, We wouldn't know whats going on over there..
