If anybody here uses the Samsung Gear VR headset, download "Star Chart". Pretty cool real time star chart which lets you explore the planets of the solar system as well as their moons.

Falcon Heavy's successful launch just then. Biggest since the Apollo missions. 2 side boosters returned in one piece in tandem, Elon Musk's car orbiting the sun for the next billion years. https://twitter.com/Liv_Boeree/status/960982569994027009Replay of launch here. (About the 19 min mark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1635&v=99llRhH71vA Side boosters landing safely at around the 27 min mark. https://twitter.com/AirportWebcams/status/960982527338000386 Dead set looks like something out of a Michael Bay film.

Got up to watch the live stream this morning. This launch is a HUGE development in regards to space exploration, even just in the context of public interest and industry confidence in what Spacex are doing. I'm actually genuinely excited as to what the future holds.

I'm actually genuinely excited as to what the future holds. It sure is. I think blokes like Musk, Bezos, Bill Gates et al, that have humanity's best interests at heart, are our best chance at actually achieving these big picture dreams.

Most of the right in parliament have been trying to discredit him because of the battery projects arranged with the Labor governments of SA and Vic. All fuckwits.

Isn't it that they can never be drained below 50% or they'll shit themselves ?

Engineers and Scientists FTW ! Technical details of how the image was captured. (Data time-stamped with atomic clocks for example.)

+xTheres so many space docos coming up on abc & sbs Been watching heaps of them. So many things I had no idea about. Last night I learnt about the 'bbq' roll the spaceship had to do twice an hour on the way to the moon to make sure the heat was distributed evenly around the ship. Can't imagine how many thousands and thousands of other tiny little considerations would have had to been thought about to make this thing work like it did.

50 year anniversary this week for the Apollo 11 landing. Probably the reason why.

SpaceX is launching NASA's Crew-1 mission at 11:59am AEDT Sunday, the first operational manned launch of SpaceX's Dragon 2 after the successful manned test flight earlier this year, and the first time four people have flown in a capsule format spacecraft. Very exciting. Will post the live stream here.

Worth it just to watch the 1st stage booster land on a drone ship. Its the sort of thing you see in science fiction yet not only is it very real but it cuts the cost of space flight exponentially. We're honestly not that far off the next space race. Exciting times.

We're honestly not that far off the next space race. Exciting times. China v US v EU. Would be amazing to see a moon or Mars colony in our lifetimes.

The rocket that launched the first crew to the space station flew again to launch a Korean satellite while the crew were still up there. 🤯 SpaceX has well and truly stolen the show.

At the rate Starship is developing (15km test flight coming up in the next few weeks) I'd put money on there being people on Mars by the end of the decade.

Getting a rocket that will go there is the easy bit.
