Yay I'm stupid!!!

I was excited for the SpaceX rocket launch on Tuesday the 18th. Only four more days!

But then I realised it was launching at 12:45 AM EST, so it would actually be Monday night for me! A day sooner!! Only three more days!!!

But then I realised the 18th is the Monday, not Tuesday, so it would actually be Sunday night for me!! Another day sooner!!! Only two more days!!!!

So is it a launch and then goes into a landing soon after or is this just launch for something else?

Launch in 50 minutes. Then a few minutes after launch the second stage separates. That continues to the ISS while the first half turns around and goes back to Florida. That landing attempt will be part of the livestream too.

EDT: is this your first rocket livestream?

Yes.

[Legend]

Yes.

Awesome!!!

This is the stream you'll want to watch:

It's the official one by SpaceX and is the most chill. They have fancy graphics and explain everything that is happening. Doesn't start for another 20 minutes though, so for the moment I'm watching NASA's stream.

[DD_Bwest]

WOOOOO lol  like 40 mintues left till launch.    apparently all good for prop load

[Raven]

The time we live in. Watching a fighting game tournament being held in Las Vegas with people from across the world with another tab running a live video of a rocket launch.

Not just a live video of a rocket launch, but live video from onboard said rocket.
