Launch 1 of 2 today: complete. A single cloud decided to join the photo just as the Starlink 10-23 mission launched from SLC-40 in Florida. This was taken 150 miles south. Next: Atlas V with Kuiper-2 which I hope to have shots from 2 miles away. Rewatch the launch:

The sun isn't the only thing rising over the space coast as an Atlas V carrying 27 Kuiper Internet satellites bolted off the pad just before 7am EDT! Miss the launch? Rewatch the NSF - NASASpaceflight.com broadcast: youtube.com/live/qZtIN4eWu…

Falcon 9 "Grace"fully took to the Florida skies as Falcon 9 and C213, christened Grace, launched the Axiom-4 mission. The international crew of 4 will spend two weeks performing lots of science aboard the ISS. Shortly after stage separation, we got a "Falcon Nebula". The first

Brought out the big lens tonight to try and get a moon jellyfish, but alas my angle was off. However my angle was great to see the super long tail as Falcon 9 launches a satellite for Israel. The higher it goes the blue-r the color too. This is from 150 miles south BTW. Watch

I asked Artemis 2 Commander Reid Wiseman about any smaller remaining technical items the crew is watching before their launch NLT April. In addition to larger watch items like the heat shield (which they feel confident in the research and engineering), they'll be watching the

Crew-11 is GO for launch Thursday at 12:09pm EDT bringing 4 people to live aboard the ISS. Wonder what it's like at the press site the day before a launch? Lemme give you a quick tour and don't forget to set a reminder to watch NSF - NASASpaceflight.com live coverage!

The weather somehow cooperating as Falcon 9 and Dragon once again thread the needle of the Florida summer sending four people to the International Space Station! This marks the record 6th flight of Dragon Endeavour and the final landing at LZ-1. LZ-2 will remain for now.
