That wasn't thunder, Space Coast: Liftoff!

At 3:14am (ET) Sunday, the #CRS23 #Falcon9 sent a Cargo Dragon capsule full of goodies to the Space Station.

It was a beautiful launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, & the 90th successful 1st stage landing for #SpaceX.

This is the view from the NASA Press Site.

Kennedy Space Center, FL. – At 5:56 pm (ET), January 15, 2023, SpaceX launched its Falcon Heavy and a top-secret mission titled USSF-67 at Launch Complex 39-A. The mission was for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) and SpaceX's second launch using the Falcon 9 Heavy for the NSSL. This was the fifth launch of a Falcon 9 Heavy by SpaceX and the second in less than three months. On board were two payloads for NSSL, one being a military communications satellite. The side boosters for this mission supported USSF-44 which launched on November 1, 2022. While the center booster core was deemed expendable, the side boosters successfully landed shortly after launch at LZ-1 and LZ-2. In a statement from Assured Access to Space: "We had another fantastic launch today on a Falcon Heavy, just two months after our first National Security Space Launch mission using this launch system, and while the launch itself was impressive, I am most proud of the fact that we placed important capabilities into space that help our nation stay ahead of very real and growing threats," said Maj. Gen. Stephen Purdy, program executive officer for Assured Access to Space. "We're certainly on a roll with 96 consecutive successful national security space launches, and the takeaway is that we've really got a spectacular team working together on our most challenging launch profiles to ensure our mission partners get on orbit with confidence." Later this week, SpaceX has two additional launches scheduled, the GPS-III-6 from Cape Canaveral SFS and Starlink Group 2-4 from Vandenberg S.F.S. in California.

Darn.

I think that Tesla just landed, sorta.

Holy crap. That ended up a bit to early.

Shame.

I wonder when CNN and such picks this up. Or not this, but.

July 4th, 2020 started in fine form as the SpaceX Fleet returned to Port Canaveral carrying the recently launched and landed GPSIII Falcon9 booster. The rocket landed on the drone ship "Just Read The Instructions."

It was a busy morning, as just before the JRTI entered port, the other drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" disembarked in preparation for the Starlink booster landing next week.

The demonstration flight is a significant milestone for the world's premier multi-user spaceport. In 2014, NASA signed a property agreement with SpaceX for the use and operation of the center's pad 39A, where the company has launched Falcon 9 rockets and is preparing for the first Falcon Heavy. NASA also has Space Act Agreements in place with partners, such as SpaceX, to provide services needed to process and launch rockets and spacecraft. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett

The SpaceX #CSG2 COSMO-SkyMed "nebula" in 4 acts, and the dance of the #Falcon9 first stage and the second stage, heading south along the coast of Florida; just incredible!

Beautiful early evening for the #SpaceX launch with #OneWeb-15 mission putting up another 40 broadband internet satellites from LC-39A from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 5:27 p.m. EST

And I got a pen out of it. =)

Here’s my short HD video

Hands Off! Protest in Vero Beach, Florida on April 5, 2025. A large crowd of over 2000 showed up to protest Trump and Elon Musk policies and the havoc caused by DOGE. This was one of 1200 locations where people raised their voices across the nation with more than 5 million participating. Resist!

Well done, #SpaceX. The #CRS14 #Falcon9 launch was successful, and incredible to watch, especially from the roof of NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building.

Elon Musk of SpaceX is putting 12,000 satellites into space to provide Internet anywhere on the planet.

Here 60 satellites are passing the Danish night sky.

SpaceX launches another batch of Starlink satellites from LC-39A on NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 1:13 p.m. EST.

10% of the U.S. Senate was at the Feinstein home this evening hearing Elon Musk describe Tesla and SpaceX.

This is a composite of 2 images taken of the #Thaicom8 #Falcon9 rocket launch by #SpaceX at approximately 5:39pm (ET) on May 27, 2016 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This shows the first 97 seconds of the launch.

The first image is the rocket lifting off, a 45 seconds exposure and the second image is a 52 second exposure. The break in the streak is of course where the first exposure ended and the second one started.

Other technical details: It was shot at 17mm, at ISO400 and f8 through two ND filters, a 10-stop and a 3 stop.

Rocket versus cloud, in 4 frames. The rocket won.

At 3:46pm (ET) today (Thursday), #SpaceX successfully launched the #Eshail2 payload atop a previously flown #Falcon9 rocket. The first stage would later land atop the "Of Course I Still Love You," positioned 400-ish miles off-shore.
