@Kirwan cost-plus is a wonderful thing until you realise there's fuck all in the way of efficiency to be had

Docking;

Hatch opening;

Hopefully now we see some kind of acceleration toward the lunar programs and unmanned Mars rockets.

Get the feeling we're going to need Small Modular Reactor tech to come along and help power any Lunar/Martian colony tho.

Stuff

Docking went smooth. That vehicle looks quite smart, much more refined than NASA ships of old

Loved watching the retro rockets firing as the computer brought it in.

Quoted as something like 30 buttons and touch screens versus the Space Shuttle's 2000 switches and circuit breakers

[Kirwan]

Not even the ones of old, look at what SpaceX competitors are throwing together. Switches everywhere.

Between Space X and Rocket Lab, space seems cool again

[Kirwan]

Live now, launch as early as 30mins away. They are trying to land all three boosters this time so should be pretty awesome

[Kirwan]

5mins

@Kirwan home sick today. Feeling like shit but this should soothe my misery. Fuck yes.

[Kirwan]

Never gets old watching those synchronised boosters land. All three down safe!

[NTA]

Only just got to separation??

Anyway the fucking ads on this feed are bullshit

[Kirwan]

@NTA you must not be live?

[Hooroo]

I had an advert right on take-off, that was a bit stink. Every other part of that was wicked! Cheers for posting @Kirwan Really cool

[Kirwan]

I didn’t have ads on mine, I might have given you guys a dud link.

No biggie. This "Space & Universe" channel is a bit poo.

Boosters landed. Awesome part over

[Kirwan]

Mine was delayed and I pushed the next icon on the video to skip it live. Must have broken the ads doing that?
