Docking live stream right now.
Whoop! BBC are running this as their main story today.
NASA and SpaceX really want this to bring back some hype for space. Lots of people were watching the launch.

Colorado's spaceport is working on expanding and adding a new runway just for space planes. It's kinda cool that this is an airport that I flew a plane at once.

About time that rocket has another launch!



Really high quality look at how a martian outpost could start. Some elements of the plan don't seem realistic and others would need to be re-designed based off the launcher and lander, but I kinda fell in love with the general concept. 3D print a "dumb" shell and then inflate habitats inside it with room to spare. Looking at this concept from the BFR perspective, the first rocket would be focused on setting up nuclear power, the rock shell, and water mining for methane production. Second BFR could bring the habitats and replacement parts.
