According to wiki this was the 160th orbital launch this year. There were 5 failures. One partial failure. I probably shouldn’t watch these things. Won’t be able to sleep for a while.
This is going to the moon!

Yeah. Wiki only has two categories, suborbital and orbital. I guess everything is orbiting something. 
We’re up to around 1500 objects placed into Earth orbit this year. I assume that’s just intentionally placed satellites.
Hey! They have Jack Black on the stream! That was unexpected.

So if we repurpose Elon’s huge inflatable ego, we can move half the population to Mars.

Seems to be using the gravity of the moon to create a double slingshot motion?
Splashdown expected at 12:39 PM ET.

The Soyuz spacecraft currently docked to the ISS decided to start blasting coolant into space yesterday
Everyone’s safe for now but the 3 people who have to ride this thing back to Earth are probably not super excited.
Well that’s not good.
Reports are that this was “external mechanical damage,” which I think means either micrometeorite or space debris. Kind of a worrisome sign for the future.
This is really good:
NASA and Roscosmos are supposedly going to announce that this Soyuz is unusable and will launch a new Soyuz and Dragon spacecraft next month with 3 empty seats to bring its crew home safely
