The sunset will be @ 7:57 pm, but it shouldn't matter. Judging from last time, it should be clearly visible here ... as long as the weather cooperates.

"Updated to MAY 15 03:30 PM"

6:30 pm on my coast. :oP


"The sunset will be even later murder. We need an update on when the sun goes down on May 15th!"

7:59 pm

I don't understand why they don't launch all these rockets when it's dark. It's the best marketing/PR
that money can buy.

I hear Elon wants 50 trillion tax dollars to build a colony on the sun within 10 years. He says they'll be able to land there by going there at night. Maga are all laughing at how Dems would never be able to land on the sun like him.

Meh.

The night launch is cool for people physically nearby but the internet crowd wants the better detail of day camera work.

"So that water diverter underneath the system did trip a hold, but that basically just gives the team the chance to look at it, see if it's something that we need to troubleshoot in data," SpaceX's Dan Huot says.

Falcon 9 is a highly profitable reliable workhouse built using this process. Starlink looks quite successful. Starship is so difficult because the bar is so high, much higher life capacity compared to falcon 9 and at significant less cost per launch.

Damn she's fast off the pad. That new version has some fucking power.

Some motor glitches though.
