Good launch. God speed.

Astronaut Koichi Wakata said in Japanese (mirroring his speech in English), “To the launch crew, it was an incredibly smooth launch. To everyone who was watching the launch thank you very much for listening and caring for us. Up to this point and going forward we will continue to do our best. Thank you for your support.”

I had this on my left screen as they were fueling just before launch. On my right screen I was writing a concept of operations document to - wait for it- fuel a rocket! Having Space X on the left screen was motivational. I got further today than I had expected.

Awesome. And the main booster landed safely as well. A stunning accomplishment if I may say so.

In spite of the Russo-Ukrainian War, we continue to cooperate with the Russians on the International Space Station. Elon Musk should stick with cars and space craft and drop his bid for Twitter.

The Crew-5 astronauts are scheduled to dock with the space station at 4:57 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 6. NASA will livestream the procedure, including a commentary, via its YouTube channel.

The space station’s hatch is set to open at 6:42 p.m. ET, enabling the Crew-5 astronauts to enter the orbital outpost for the first time.

At 8:05 p.m. ET, all the station crew members will gather for a welcoming ceremony.

I dunno. He made cars better, rockets better. Maybe he can pull twitter out the shitter.

Musk has said that he would allow Trump back on Twitter so it will change. Polling in 2020 and more recently shows that the most prolific users of Twitter are Democrats, we often see it quoted in news articles. Don't know if his ownership will mean it will be more balanced, but Musk will likely shake it up since politically he seems to be more center right now.

Reality is only 23% of US adults belong to Twitter. It's beloved by the media, entertainers, some politicians, government entities and others. They spread about as much fake news as other sites, so maybe he'll clean that up too.

Everyone quotes twitter so it's the same as having it. I don't have it, but I see it quoted all the time. Ick.
