    Watching the split screen with the crew casually hitting supersonic speed, MECO and the boost-back burn is so cool. Getting the daylight view of Stage 1 making it's return to the Florida coast is impressive.

    It really does look like a cheesy B-rated sci-fi movie.

    I don't like the idea of an astronaut flying around with his eyes closed.

    Okay, I believe you, I know fuck all about it. But, on all three streams I looked at: LaunchPad, VideoFromSpace and Axiom, they all called it the "SpaceX AX-3" launch. It's the SpaceX Crew Dragon Craft shot into orbit by the SpaceX Falcon 9, but Axiom Space handles the crew, training and mission control?

    Sorry. The YouTube channel was Axiom. Still a SpaceX rocket using Dragon.

    Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I tried several, including the Axiom channel, and I kept getting an error on any of the live stream ones. I'm sure it was me. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow when the Japanese lunar lander comes down.

    Isn't Axiom the name of the space ship in Wall-E?

    Everyday Astronaut is a pretty cool channel for space launches, etc.

    They're about T-1 hour away from the latest Starship launch.

    Dude is pretty knowledgeable and has invested a ton of cash into a mobile launch tracking system.

    Case in point, here's a video of an old news van he converted into a mobile 4k streaming platform with infrared and tracking cameras that he can stream live shots from.



    This is the part of YoutTube that I love.

    It's pretty incredible that they're using/testing Starlink to get video and other high speed data from Starship. That's crazy!

    It's starting to re-enter now, and the heat buildup on the flaps.
