Reminder to everyone that you should be able to catch ISS flying over tonight. It's around 9:20pm here in Denver, but check your local area.

Normally, you'd check here, but NASA's servers are probably getting hammered right now.

I use the app "ISS Detector."

I'm hoping that Dragon might be bright enough to catch it trailing behind...

Hope the clouds clear out here!

That was amazing to watch. I don't have the proper words.

This high resolution video of everything is so cool compared to the old pixelated space footage we got in the past.

I do.

America. Home of the brave.

Just imagine what it'll be like when we get 4K shots from the moon (and eventually, hopefully Mars).

Back in the day the timing was just right one summer night when the space shuttle had just finished it's mission to the ISS and had backed away but still fairly close. We could see both of them flying together.

That rocket parked itself on the drone ship better than some people can park their cars at the grocery store.

POND_OF_RED 05-30-2020 01:49 PM

FWIW my father was a zoo veterinarian at one time and took care of miss able before she got her ass launched. Independence Kansas.

True story.

Anyone know if the stage one gets lashed down on the drone ship or does it use boosters to stabilize? That thing looks like it would topple over in any kind of choppy water.

If they can do what they just did I am sure they have that covered.
