ISS and Space-related discussion

Interesting, Bezos has talked about climate change and carbon emissions, but I assume the rocket launch isn't great for the environment.
The rocket itself burns hydrogen and oxygen so the exhaust is water vapour.

I'm sure he'll have an audit trail showing that the hydrogen was produced by using renewable energy and electrolysis!
 
SpaceX Inspiration 4 crew launch currently live with lift off at 1am. The crew will orbit the earth for 3 days and then reenter and splashdown.
 
Is it visible from the UK then? Spent 3 nights last week in Salisbury watching the night sky. Amazing how many satilites there are when the skys clear and no moon.
 
Now thats a real trip into space. Not like the joke bezos and branson efforts.
:thumbsup: I used to work on space stuff, the difference between flying up and coming back down vs a proper mission is night and day.

Just doing what branson and bezos have done is still unbelievable, space is hard, really hard.

I take the point you make, but is anything really hard when you are a billionaire?
 
Tonight starts a run of ISS passes over the UK.
Tonight.. 20:41 .. incredibly bright

Tomorrow.. 19:54 .. incredibly bright
 
Which direction should we look? Right now there is a stunning moon moving towards south
