That was cool.

lol at all the cars that pulled off the road to watch the show. Also, interesting that the Cybertruck has no door handles. I can see that being problematic.

Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) is in the foreground on Launch Pad 39A with NASA’s Artemis I in the background on Launch Pad 39B on April 6, 2022. This is the first time two totally different types of rockets and spacecraft designed to carry humans are on the sister pads at the same time—but it won’t be the last as NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida continues to grow as a multi-user spaceport to launch both government and commercial rockets.
Ax-1 liftoff is scheduled at 11:17 a.m. EDT Friday, April 8, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Elon, It looks like we had an anomaly!

Boost 7 engine spin test startup which results in a huge explosion!

It is an awesome pic. It made me think about just how insignificant I am though, which made me sad.

1st launch of SLS is scheduled for 1am (EST) this morning!!! Everything looks good so far.

NASASpaceFlight (not affiliated with NASA) has great coverage. They've been going for several hours.

That rocket has 15% more thrust than the Saturn 5. The only rocket with more thrust is Starship.

SpaceX and Tesla Motors
CEO Elon Musk will send a mission to Mars without people on it — on the Flying Dragon version 2 rocket — starting in 2018 and launch a rocket headed there every 26 months.

“It is intended to carry astronauts to the International Space Station,” said Musk at the Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. on Wednesday night. “But we are going to send one to Mars in 2018.”

But that’s not the biggest ambition. If everything goes according to plan, the first rocket carrying human cargo will launch in 2024, he said.
