stakeout stream on now. launch window in 5 hours.

Gogogogo!

Rescue operation update?

I assume the normal rotation crew will arrive at the station in a couple weeks.

All that stranded news is 95% BS. I'm kind of disappointed Elon is carefully joining in...

Launch in an hour! Fuel is starting to get loaded.

Nice catch on the booster but it looks like they lost the engines on the ship...

Wtf... did I miss it again?

It was standard crazy SpaceX... The Starship had a rear engine bay fire (again!) that lead to it's destruction. These Version 2 Starships have bugs to be ironed out. Version 1 didn't have these issues.

I also noticed that the booster catch was off. The chopsticks had to quickly move right to catch the booster.

The 1:40 sec point is wild as the Starship pinwheels through space.

Crew 10 launch is T-03:52:15

Scrubbed?

Yes, they just called the Scrub a couple of minutes ago. There was some chatter earlier about a possible equipment issue that they were trying to resolve before T-01:00:00.

Step one: Null out your horizontal velocity

Step two: Ask the Blue Ghost team

So these astronauts discovered some deadly alien species like in the movie Life and they've been quarantined this entire time?

Shhhhh!

I still call it SpaceTwitter

You ever tried docking before?

Well done! Took a couple seconds.

Yes - PITA! While playing Kerbal Space Program.

BTW, docking is at 11:30pm EDT
