I’ve been waiting for this for a loooong time. Will be excited to see them finally light this candle. Can only hope for a successful orbital insertion of the starship.

Awesome :) Thanks so much.

Perth, Western Australia. We watched the sunset over the ocean at 18:59 (AWST, +8) and noticed the alignment of the 3 briefly before Venus sunk below the horizon slowly followed by the other 2.

How can you be cost competitive with something that only exists as a far-fetched concept that absolutely no R&D has ever been done on?
That's about as useful as comparing the cost of an F-22 to an X-Wing

I don't know of a time they last aligned, but it should happen again in 2025. It's usually cloudy and light polluted where I live so it was a pleasant surprise to see constellations like orion out there

It was odd enough to make me pull the car over and try to understand why the moon was rising in the west

Oh gosh, these different metrics around the world - I can't keep up with 'em! Guess I'm just old-fashioned, I can only think in 28-pound corgis!

Yeah but that tripled time is still faster than anybody else.
Read some of the reviews for working at spacex from former employees. Talking about being worked around the clock.
Elon has stated before if they're going to be successful in their goals then they need to work like there's an asteroid headed towards earth and the only way to stop it is this rocket.
It took NASA over a decade to build SLS which was basically just recycled Apollo. SpaceX is designing an entirely new launch system.

I feel like either my math is off or something in the article is off. That gives it a density 4 times higher than lead.

PLEASE tell me it landed on Greg Abbott!
Otherwise, its a really big state, and probably landed somewhere really unimportant.

The media does not excel at science reporting.

Reply to When was the last time Jupiter, Venus, and the Moon aligned? by Anonymous-Person-_
I've recently been more interested in astronomy in terms of trying to figure out what I can see with the naked eye. I was really excited to have a clear night where I could see two bright objects near the moon. It was the first time I used a star mapping app (Star Walk in my case), and I was beaming to find out I was looking at Jupiter and Venus! How common is it to see formations like this so clearly? From what I've been seeing from others it seems quite rare given how many people were hyped about it on social media.
