This stuff is just amazing to me. I grew up playing lunar lander on our first pc. If you had shown me these videos even 10 years ago I would have sworn they were special effects. Really looking forward to what the next 10 years have in store on the space exploration front.

SXM launch is on in ~45 minutes for your pre game entertainment.

EDIT: Well, the window opens shortly anyway. Per people on site, not much going on right now, which suggests that they won't go on time anyway. It's a two hour window, though, so they might still go at some point.

Aww. No landing view.

Seventh flight and landing of that booster. Incredible.

Geminids' peak tonight.

That's 80% why I watch. :sulk:

Super clean replay of the SN8 test. Volume up. Preferably on a good sound system.
