Meanwhile, at Boeing.

What in the Hell Is Going on With Boeing’s Starliner?

So is there any timetable on when they are going to blow that thing up?

Rumor is a month or so when it launches/blows up.

Boeing is nothing but a government subsidized legacy system. The only thing that segment of corptocracy will invent is new ways of wasting money and killing people. I bet the shareholders  keep getting those dividends though haha!

Boeing Starliner headed back to factory, further delaying launch to ISS

By the time Starliner reaches space, Space X will already be on the moon.  And Bezos and Boeing will still be complaining that Space X is getting contracts unfairly.

SpaceX wins contract to launch weather satellite after ULA withdraws

Bezos will probably sue because he doesn't have any rockets that can launch it either.

I don’t have any launchable rockets, either. Sounds like I need to find an authorny.

Added you guys also, although don't know if Slegnaac is in So Cal.  At least you guys are on the last two pages.

Sometimes, that makes it more spectacular.  All the colors.

[gotbeer]

That was pretty neat.  Rockets red glare.

Video isn't that great, had issues with my tripod.  @Chuckster70 is going to hate me for taking up all his drive space.

It disappeared in the clouds and I couldn't get a good view of it on the phone.  But it left a nice glow going into space.

Oh man, I’m just now reading this and completely missed the show. Bummer.

Thanks for the video, GB.

I would have completely missed it also, if it didn't show up on my google news feed.  I don't even think I heard the local news talking about it.

Inspiration4's Hayley Arceneaux will be youngest American to reach space and 1st spaceflyer with a prosthesis

Thanks for the video @gotbeer.

Was not able to see it from the house, but watched the live YouTube feed.

The launch explains why there were so many cars (lots of Teslas) in the parking lot across from SpaceX yesterday afternoon.
