Followed space travel since the 60's, would love to be strapped in for the ride of my life

Apparently at 2050 hrs you might see the rocket just to the right of the moon. Trouble is, I can't see the moon.

Ta, didn't take that into consideration

Launches at 9:33, around 9:52 to 9:57 if conditions are right will be able to see it

Every time I see Elon Musk I think he is a bit like a Bond villain. And now he has a space rocket? #Moonraker

Listening to the weather discussion it might be abort, abort, abort.

I saw that and they were so professional about it. I show more emotion when I miss a green light phase while driving my car.

Paperboy · May 27, 2020

We won't be able to see it on Saturday as it will be too light when it goes over

? shame that it’s been aborted

Apparently the weather isn't looking great again, only a 40% chance of launch today

HID getting annoyed between the San Miguel, cooking BBQ and watching the NASA feed she feels I'm not taking my cheffing duties seriously enough.

Still on at the moment -

HomerJSimpson · May 30, 2020

Sixteen minutes to lift off so around 8.22 UK time. I assume it'll be too light to see this with the naked eye or is that wrong?

Imurg · May 30, 2020

We won't see it yet. We should see it lowish in the southern sky on its 2nd orbit around 10.15..

Old Skier · May 30, 2020

Amazing pictures especially the rocket landing.
