See SpaceX and ISS tonight

[didds]

22:09 tonight apparently..

Nothing visible here in central Scotland, still too bright with a light haze too.

Scott.

FWIW, it was visible here in Wiltshire, but ionly after it had moved a considerable diatance form the horizon which was still a strong pinky orange glow.

It appeared much closer to the moon whoch was probably around 45 degrees to the horizon (so to speak)

Tweet from Tim Peake again

You can see the @Space_Station pass over the UK tonight, 22:10 BST. Look west, low on the horizon & it will cross to the south east, passing beneath the moon. If @SpaceX launches, it will follow about 5 mins later. The sky will be too light to see SpX on 1st pass after launch.

Presumably the launch is on the same link as before https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#public

Scott.

Hopefully Bob and Doug won't have this on their minds (from yesterday):

FYI - SpaceX is 0.6% of SMT (Scottish Mortgage) as of 30Mar2020
Not sure what other funds might own it.

I'm watching this now: BBC News

But, I have to say, I prefer the old, tense, technical days at NASA. Or James Burke in the BBC TV studio. Today, it's all so irritatingly cuddly.

Amazing really - as they just said, it's a new chapter in human space-exploration.

I like the 'Starboard', 'Port', 'Deck' signs around the ISS hatch. Perhaps they could have just had an arrow and 'This Way Up'?

Typical. They can put a capsule in orbit and dock with the ISS, but then can't get the telephone to work.
