It will be exciting!

It could also be more issues for stargazing too

All the more reason to build telescopes on the far side of the Moon.

I have been watching space launches since 1969 and I still find them exciting.

 

[Moondaya]

for sure

Each progress about space was and will be exciting! I wish to see days when base set up on the moon.

adapt, exceed....or die... When/if teleportation appears will anyone have any concern for travel agents, common carriers or taxi/uber drivers?

I don't want to burst any bubbles, but the water is from earth shedding the vapor into space, and some of it collects on the moon, and throughout space......

Annnnnd... aborted again. Maybe tomorrow folks.

Let's hope everyone is a little more careful about the numbers!

"Liftoff is at 3:13 a.m. EST (0513 GMT).
A veteran Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The rocket will make its sixth trip to space and is the same one SpaceX used to first launch astronauts for NASA on the Demo-2 mission in 2020.
The rocket's payload fairing is being reflown as well. One half of the nose cone fairing was used to launch the European Sentinel-6A satellite while the other launched two separate commercial satellite missions.
From SpaceX:
SpaceX is targeting Thursday, March 11 for launch of 60 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous window is at 3:13 a.m. EST or 8:13 UTC."

Seems 03:13 EST is both 05:13 GMT and 08:13 UTC at the same "time". Who would have ever have thought that?
