Just got done with breakfast at the Cajun in time to see SpaceX launches 50 Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from SLC-4 on Vandenberg SFB.
L-3: Our Soyuz rocket with the spacecraft inside is rolled out to the launchpad. The system to keep it upright is ingeniously simple. By using counterweights the rocket is held upright but the slightest force (such as liftoff) pushes the supports out of the way, no complicated electronics required! Did you ever wonder how a launch time is recorded? Easy, the rocket is standing on a large switch, as soon as it is depressed (i.e. we are launched) the time is recorded and we have a launch time!
L-3 : Transfert de la fusée jusqu’au pas de tir. Ça a l’air impressionnant, mais le système pour la faire tenir à la verticale n’a rien de compliqué : on utilise tout simplement des contrepoids. Pas besoin non plus d’électroniques sophistiquées pour dégager la voie à la fusée lors du lancement, la force du décollage suffisant largement pour faire basculer les structures de soutien en arrière. Comment arrive-t-on à connaître l’heure exacte du décollage ? Là aussi, c’est facile : la fusée est installée sous une sorte de grand bouton-poussoir qui est relâché quand elle décolle, ce qui déclenche l’enregistrement de l’heure du lancement.

A replica of Robert Stephenson’s Rocket will be on display to commemorate 190 years since it beat four other locomotives in a one-mile railway race through Rainhill Village. It was the only one to make it to the end.
