I love KSP, but don't play it anymore because I need a life. I do like the 'when in doubt, strap on more boosters' approach.dyqik wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 7:35 pmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqXN9OA41uw

Re: Astronomy and Space
They're hoping to be able to send back video of the landing too, which should be good
And the fun of a helicopter to try out if all goes well.

Re: Astronomy and Space
I think it's on BFMTV (in french) on line from 8pm UK time.
If you bring your kids up to think for themselves, you can't complain when they do.
Re: Astronomy and Space
French? FRENCH?
It's on Nasa TV ok but that often stutters a bit.

Why oh why does Nasa TV not have enough capacity at their end? Their feed often buffers, it's not at my end.

Seems to be working fine for me. What I don’t understand is all the parasitic YouTube channels that people give money to when it’s there for free.

Everyday Astronaut is much more entertaining than NASA tv I’ll give him that, but most of the channels are crap.

Ah, no - it's no longer showing the countdown timer - rather it's showing the EST time. Maybe it's been scrubbed

Awesome, just watched it launch, hover and land! Weird fire going on for a bit after landing, but it looks intact and upright.
