SpaceX is targeting Thursday, March 21 for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s 30th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-30) mission to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 4:55 p.m. ET with a backup launch opportunity available on Friday, March 22 at 4:29 p.m. ET if needed.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about 20 minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live. This is the sixth flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Ax-2, ESA Euclid, Ax-3, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. CRS-30 is the fourth flight for this Dragon spacecraft, which previously flew CRS-22, CRS-24, and CRS-27 to the space station. After an approximate 38-hour flight, Dragon will autonomously dock with space station Saturday, March 23 at approximately 7:30 a.m. ET. https://www.spacex.com/launches/miss...ssionId=crs-30

Flight 4 should be less than 2 months away (sometime in May).

The next Boeing Starliner test is coming up tonight finally (2 astronauts on board). Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly.
On NASA TV. |

Ha, well, that was timely. Scrubbed due to a stuck valve.

Any of you space nerds ever coming down here for a Starship flight test? IFT 4 should be within a month or so.
Then it should get even more interesting with IFT 5 and beyond. Catching the super heavy booster, a second Mechazilla Orbital Launch Integration Tower, etc.

For the sake of having redundancy, I hope Starliner flies and flies well, but implying that Boeing deserves any sort of trust with it because of their decades-old track record completely ignores the debacle that company has been for the past 20 or so years. |

I wouldn't trust Boeing to design a child's drone at this point. |
