Godspeed SpaceX! Clear sky, should be able to see the launch from my front yard!

With favorable weather conditions predicted, the launch is likely to proceed as scheduled on March 12. The SpaceX Crew-10 mission is scheduled for liftoff at 7.48 EDT on Wednesday March 12 (5:18 a.m. IST on Mar. 13) from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida

Outstanding! Praying that all goes well and everyone returns safely.

So, it sounds like they are going to try again at 7:03pm EDT today.
I'm not sure where the best place to watch is.

Maybe this will work.

If you have the X app it will pop up a SpaceX hosting bar that will take you straight to launch control.

Or on X on your pee see

Thanks, HRK. I was going to mention, maybe you want to change the thread topic time so people aren't still thinking 7:48.
But we are real close now.

Rob Schmidt on Newsmax showed the launch.
The booster landing by is like the science fiction of my youth in the early 60's.
Amazing.

Booster landing is like something that could have been one of the futuristic drawings on the cover of Science Illustrated.

I can watch those over and over again. How something so big and heavy lands like a ballerina, I can't get over.

“… Musk said he offered to bring the astronauts home eight months ago, but the Biden Administration shot it down because it would've made Donald Trump 'look good' in the presidential race against former vice president Kamala Harris. …”

Imagine how the country would have reacted if a private citizen sent a rescue craft to a stranded Apollo mission in the 1960s. The hero level would have been like Lindberg. There would have been parades all over the country.

I watched it launch from my house this evening. Got it on the cell phone video too.

Tony.

I watched the launch and it was thrilling as it always is.
Then the “pilot”— a woman-started a sermon about how everybody is good and we all have to work for “humankind” and this went in for about 10 minutes, or do it seemed. So proud of being an astronaut but she’s not flying anything except her mouth. These astronaughts are NASA, not SpaceX. Last gasp of diversity with two broads, a Japanese guy and a little Russian.
Maybe I’m a little harsh??
I had the opposite reaction when the last SpaceX crew went up. Also two men and two women, but their stories, the way they talked were inspiring.
I hope today’s crew has lots of oxygen on board because if they’re going to keep talking like that they’ll need it all.

Every time I watch a booster land my reaction is the same…

“Ain’t that the goddamnedesetthing you ever seen?”

The women with long hair need to either cut it short or tie it up somehow; looks very unruly and like it will get into all sorts of things.

All the Elon haters are in a tizzy it didn't blow up.
Leftists get more pathetic every day.

I hope they come home to a heroes welcome.

The alien mask was a cool idea .

...and now you understand how nutty he really is..

As everyone loses hair every day, I wonder where it all goes in the SS? You would think these small diameter keratin bits would be a problem for instruments, air lock seals, etc.
