Core stage separated!

Now it gets boring I guess

i can think of a couple

Seems pretty windy there. Was that a concern?

There is no wind in space! :transmet_smiley:

Boring is good for now.

Who remembers Apollo? I don’t know what number but I have memories when they started driving the moon buggy around (15?).

No direct recollection of 11. I was 4.5 years old.

Too young. When was the last moon landing?

72 or 73?

I was a baby then so no memories.

It just occurred to me: Nice to see a rocket launch that’s not supposed to crash somewhere into the middle east! :slightly_smiling_face:

How far out do cameras work on the ship? Are we in a dead zone or something? It looked like they had a stabilized camera on it after the booster separation.

Like I’d just like to see the earth going away at this point.

All I’m old enough to remember is the Challenger disaster :(

Actually, I do remember the Mars landing and the Pluto flyby, those ruled.

I guess that’s it for now

I think it’s in high orbit for a day before firing to the moon.

i know the plane is really far away, i still would have thought they would have cleared the air space further.

anyone have a guess how far that is?
