The ultimate holiday planet. Nice and warm.

Too many dinosaurs.

Also stumbled across this.

I think I've seen some of the extrasolar ones before but never our planets. Those are great. I love that kinda retro vibe.

Can anyone tell me.



Is this the correct colour of venus surface or has it been edited? because that is some yellow sky we got there.



One of my favs (MARS)

Falcon Heavy launch today!  Here is a live stream from PBS: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/watch-live-spacex-launches-the-falcon-heavy-the-rocket-that-could-go-to-mars 

1:30 PM EST to 4:00 PM EST is the window.  Leaving early from work today to drive up as close as possible.

Beautiful launch and landings! Comeon number 3!

Watched the launch live! Was great seeing them land. Hope to hear good news for the core but it's been a while.

Sounds like the core didn't have enough propellant to slow down and crashed on or next to the pad.

The pad seems to have survived save for two destroyed engines. Cool.

Makes me wanna watch Heavy Metal again.

Sounds like the central core didn't make it, unfortunately and the third main burn didn't put it on the right trajectory.

This is straight outta Heavy Metal.

Mine too!

There is an old hidden boat dock positioned directly in front of the VAB.  It was worth jumping over a few barricades for this view:


When the two rocket boosters descended together, they looked like giant fireballs slowly coming down.  The four sonic booms were incredibly loud, I was an emotional wreck.  Having spent most of my life watching shuttle launches, words just don't describe the feels. Couldn't stop reading posts of Starman lol.  Still excited, can you tell!

If that thing with the car in space is real then i am Freddy Mercury

What a coincidence you share a name with such a famous singer!
