Another Day SpaceX Sends Another Set of Starlink Satellites to Space
Posted on 5/15/21 at 5:11 pm
Posted on 5/15/21 at 5:11 pm
Launch of Falcon 9 is set for 5:54 PM CDT from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center with 52 Starlink satellites on board headed for orbit to help get you people out in the sticks better internets
The Falcon 9 booster being used tonight launched the Demo-2 mission... which put Bob Behnken & Doug Hurley into space while Minneapolis burned last year
1 of the fairing halves being used on this mission helped put a spy satellite into space

Everyone look for that chain of lights in the sky over the next few dawns and dusks, and laugh at the idiot Karens on FB and Nextdoor that think they're seeing UFOs

Earth's orbit must be similar to Los Angeles traffic by now.

People worried about polluting space is stupid IMO. Also, it’s funny that it’s many of the same people that dgaf about polluting our planet.

It just clicked that this is the dude who had great Kerbal Space Program tutorials right?

What a coincidence! I just sent commsat constellations to Duna and Ike earlier today in KSP.
You haven't lived until you write your own burn calculators in Excel to determine satellite placement and Delta-V requirements for the trip.
