Watch Russian Soyuz rocket launch 3 astronauts to space station today

 

Interesting watching the Soyuz launch.  So very different than how a Space X launch goes.  Even the launch video is very different and quite spectacular in it's own way.  Especially when it jettisoned 4 of their engines.

SpaceX could launch 52 more Starlink satellites tonight (Oct. 4). Here's how to watch.

Quote

The Starlink satellites are scheduled to lift off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base tonight at 7:56 p.m. EDT (2356 GMT; 4:56 p.m. local California time). unless the company's Crew-5 astronaut mission lifts off as planned on Wednesday (Oct. 5); in that case, SpaceX will stand down from the Starlink launch once again(opens in new tab) to focus on Crew-5.

Thanks for posting.  Looking for to watching it.  If I remember right.  Spirit and Opportunity got a fraction of the budget of previous missions because no one could land on Mars successfully.  I really hope they go through everything.
