Go ESCAPADE, go Blue Origin!
This was the view from Jetty Park Beach of the 3:55pm (ET) Thursday launch of the New Glenn rocket.
Wow, just, wow.
Congratulations to the BO team!

While weather at the launchsite is looking much better for the NG-2 launch tomorrow, weather in space is not, with a G4 rated geomagnetic storm set to hit Earth right around launch. Weather in the landing zone is also not looking too great with moderate risk.

While you were sleeping (probably): At 3:10am (ET) Sunday, #SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket, sending a batch of Starlink satellites to space.
This was a particularly beautiful launch, seen here from Merritt Island over the Banana River, with bonus lightning over the Atlantic.

Tucked in and ready for flight ✅
Our two spacecraft for NASA & UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory's ESCAPADE mission have been successfully encapsulated into the rocket fairing. This is the last time they'll be seen on Earth before their mission to Mars.
Next stop: The launch pad. 🚀

Just as Firefly was preparing for the return to flight following the FLTA006 failure, the first stage for FLTA007 was lost in an anomaly on the test stand, resulting in a huge fireball. Really unfortunate to see, and hopefully they can recover quickly.
