the commentators are much better when muted...

Yeah, SpaceX only starts their live feed minutes before, so I can't post that youtube feed until it's too late.

But dammit, they stuck the landing  :banana:

Anyone else watching where the Chinese Space Junk is going to land? Suppose to enter the atmosphere around 3:30 UTC or 11:30 PM Oakville time.

Finally!

Watch the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope—the most powerful space telescope ever made. This mission is scheduled to lift off at 7:20 a.m. EST (12:20 UTC), Dec. 25, 2021, aboard an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

The International Space Station will be visible for six minutes Tuesday evening, starting at 6:13 pm CST.  Clear skies and light winds should make for good viewing.

We saw it a couple of years ago when when we were camping at Rushing River.  We spotted what looked like a brighter than usual satellite moving across the sky.  I suggested it may be the space station, and indeed, when we looked up online where the space station was at that moment, I was right!

It's funny, because I spotted it over Manitoba, and by the time I checked the website (like a minute or two), it was over Montreal.

The ISS moves at a pretty good clip, about 27,600 km/h.

I can confirm it's still cool to watch the ISS fly overhead.
