On NASA YouTube Channel at the moment. Take off due in about 15 mins. Should be visible over Ireland and the UK 10 to 15 mins after take off. Look to the South West of the moon. Should be visible on second passover around 10.30 pm also. Enjoy.

Two less white men on the Planet. Good

Couldn't see it, so will pop back out at 10.30. Excellent work by all involved.

Probably better chance at 10.30. As it's white it's probably to difficult to make out in the daylight. Very impressive.

trying to provoke a reaction? or just a tool?

Privatised space rockets, whatever next? Good job its not Capita or G4, we would all need tin helmets to dodge the debris.

Mikero

Only two astronauts on board apparently.

And possibly the Cummings Family stowed away in the cargo hold?

Only they do love to travel long distances.

So, the first stage detaches and then falls back to land on a drone ship.

Video feed cuts out for a couple of seconds and then bingo, it's sitting perfectly in the landing circle. Paging Thor...

What flag will they be flying under?

Skull and crossbones.

International space station flies over just after 10 then followed by Spacex which is obviously on the same trajectory but chasing it down. Think they join up about 9 in the morning.

Called the Crew Dragon.

Or as Elon Musk calls it - Č z÷12 Đgœn

When the Enterprise?

The impressive take off brought back memories of the slow to get going Saturn V. The rocket shape, spacesuits etc all look very modern and designer. Whatever the rights and wrongs of space travel (and there are many on both sides of the equation) this is one heck of a feat of engineering. Let's hope the rest of the trip goes as smoothly.

If this board has one major failing it is that humour doesn't translate very well . I wouldn't bother trying anymore on here because people here can't take a joke . Oh yeah, the launch . I watched it and it was a perfect take off . Everything went like clockwork .

The International Space Station passed over in the past half hour or so. It should be back over within the next few hours. Higher and faster than a plane. Flying in a East South East direction. Perfect evening to catch a glimpse.

My bad, I think around 8 ish. So if your already outside. Everybody should be able to see unless I'm sunstroked, lol.

Are you sure it's not a holographic projection?

I didn't see it this time. Think it was too far south.

Surely you need to find the film set this is all carried out on don't you?
