Third launch in around 36 hours coming up for SpaceX in a few minutes. Amazing the pace at which they operate these days.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, June 29 for launch of SES-22 to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The two-hour launch window opens at 5:04 p.m. ET, 21:04 UTC. A backup launch opportunity is available on Thursday, June 30 with the same window.
The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously supported the launch of one Starlink mission. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. A live webcast of this mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff.

Thanks for the heads-up, even though I watched it after the fact, it never gets old...

First image from JWST is in!
They'll be doing a more formal announcement with other images tomorrow, but this is pretty stunning: "This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground." |

Funny how insignificant in scale we are to the rest of the universe and we spend our time squabbling over a few pieces of ground.

Neil Degrasse Tyson explained that the things that look like...well...stars are stars in our own galaxy (and really aren't very interesting). Everything else in the image is a galaxy.
