[leaden brook]

40% oof

[molten tundra]

Ahhh guys... the stream is 720p

width: 1280,

[wispy talon]

The Twitter experience.

[distant hemlock]

so we joeing

[distant hemlock]

[twilit kelp]

I still don’t know if I’ll get up for this

Bc it’s just another Falcon 9

The launch isn’t the cool part of the mission anyway

[wispy talon]

agreed.
not like we'll be getting the onboard audio until wayyy after the mission ends

buuuuut
I'm doing a lot of work tonight, and might not be done before the launch, so I might as well watch it if it happens tonight

[molten tundra]

Launch is still gonna be way cooler than a normal F9, trust

720p is lame though

[astral apex]

See the fun thing of SpaceX launches being on twitter is that they, on purpose, decide to stream Starlink launches on 720p but customer missions are on 1080p lol

[twilit kelp]

Then why is this one not 1080p

[astral apex]

What do you mean?

How do you know it isn't in 1080p if it hasn't started?

[twilit kelp]

This

[distant hemlock]

looking at it

[distant hemlock]

youre getting your info from a level 1

[twilit kelp]

[molten tundra]

LETS GOOOO

[random spear]

per who?

[twilit kelp]

Oh

I misread 💀

I’m so tired tonight I’m sorry 💀

[molten tundra]

We want that crew at the pad lol

[radiant latch]

Resilience is my favorite dragon

Ive seen it before through a telescope

[molten tundra]

This is a terrible time for my internet to keep cutting out

[molten tundra]

lmaoo stream already ended
Maybe they are making it 1080p

Errr link doesn't work at all anymore

Watch button is gone from website

I'm scared

[leaden brook]

does nayone have the sequence of events that will occur after orbit insertion?

[molten tundra]

https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1jMJgBDXAmWGL

It's back

It's 1080p!

[astral apex]

Oh hey

What I said lol

[molten tundra]

They had to stop the stream and restart to get 1080p 💀

[sharp cairn]

https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1833359051784151169

SpaceX (@SpaceX) on X

Polaris Dawn will travel to an altitude of 1,400 km, attempt the first commercial spacewalk from Dragon, test Starlink-laser based communications, and conduct a wide range of research in microgravity before returning to Earth and splashing down off the coast of Florida

[astral apex]

Did it die for y'all?

[sharp cairn]

this happened the last time they tried to stream a launch in 1080p too

[molten tundra]

It freaking died, I thought it was my internet 💀

I hate Twitter

[astral apex]

So on the last launch?

NROL-113 was 1080p, customer mission

[sharp cairn]

Oh I didn't notice

Nah a random Starlink mission

It's back

Reload

[astral apex]

All customer missions are 1080p

It's Starlink missions the ones in 720p

[sharp cairn]

Think it was NROL-186 I was thinking of actually

[wanton abyss]

who up crewing they dragon

[astral apex]

Me

[molten tundra]

I’m done

[random spear]

greatest stream ever (it keeps dying)

[molten tundra]

F Twitter bro

[sharp cairn]

Fine for me

This time

[arctic marsh]

functioning website

[molten tundra]

Put this back on YouTube bruh

[random spear]

youtube is too woke or whatever

(twitter servers fall asleep instead)

[wanton abyss]

god dammit

stole my joke

[random spear]

i missed walkout??

oh wait

they’re just doing a walk through

[molten tundra]

Yeah it’s kinda confusing

[arctic marsh]

JOHN

HE’S BEEN DEFROSTED

[sharp cairn]

[molten tundra]

👀

[wispy talon]

SPRUCKK

[sharp cairn]

40% go still

Best weather forecast they've had since they started scheduling the launch

[leaden brook]

they just dissed my boy Insprucker

[molten tundra]

I love John

[leaden brook]

they jsut called him "SpaceX Engineer"

[sharp cairn]

HE GAVE US SECONDS

PRAISE

[molten tundra]

They’re all SpaceX Engineers

[random spear]

sprucc is alive

[molten tundra]

Holy

The suits are so good

[wispy talon]

really flicking the wrists

emphasizing the changes there lmao

[random spear]

i wonder why spx doesn’t just use hanger x for all of the suit up ops

[sharp cairn]

[random spear]

are they listening over speakers or through headphones

oh wow they weren’t kidding lmao

wait haven’t they done an attempt previously?

[wispy talon]

i think so? cant remember if they were in the capsule when the hold was called tho

[random spear]

also isn’t jared the first repeat

[wispy talon]

yes

[sharp cairn]

Scrubbed earlier in the day

[random spear]

ah

[arctic marsh]

MLA?

[sharp cairn]

Early enough that the livestream hadn't started yet

[random spear]

oh yeah true

[wispy talon]

license plates say "4STJUDE"

[sharp cairn]

license plates

[wispy talon]

cute

yeah lmao

[random spear]

the st jude tie in is pretty cool

[wispy talon]

the probably the main thing i appreciate the isaacman flights for

[sharp cairn]

fluids panel

[wispy talon]

helping out st jude is just an objectively cool thing to do

[random spear]

i can’t lie i’m stressed asl about the eva

[wispy talon]

i think everyone is honestly 😭
that's the most ambitious part

[random spear]

it’s not even the eva eva

it’s the pure oxygen prebreathe

[wanton abyss]

has anyone gotten an actual S2 serial number yet lmao

[wispy talon]

(no?)

[random spear]

which booster is this

[sharp cairn]

B1083

[wanton abyss]

83

[wispy talon]

1083

[random spear]

oh it’s a baby booster

crew, 2 starlinks, then another crew lmao

the life of a falcon

[wanton abyss]

they should be flying on beloved again

[random spear]

BRING BACK WEST COAST CREW

[sharp cairn]

Turnaround from 3rd to 4th will be far longer than the turnaround from 1st to 3rd

[wanton abyss]

although tbh the headlines of a booster failure on a crewed flight would be rough

but still. beloved should've at least gone out with a bang

[random spear]

what happens if they god forbid have an IFA, like does jared still have to pay for the mission?????

do they get a coupon to try again

[wanton abyss]

I'm sure there's some sort of milestone based system but he'd probably still pay the overwhelming majority of the cost

[random spear]

i wonder if resilience would be able to fly again

[wispy talon]

IFA?

[wanton abyss]

Inflight Abort

[wispy talon]

ah

[wispy talon]

i mean
sure
the engineers just need to keep on beating at it until it works

[random spear]

i would only be half shocked if resilience ends up at St Jude

PROCTOR TALKED TO MICHELLE OBAMA WHAT

[leaden brook]

WTF

[radiant latch]

I met Sian lol

[sharp cairn]

They definitely need the dragon in circulation

[leaden brook]

SIAN PROCTOR TALKED TO MICHELLE OBAMA????

[wispy talon]

(I think she mentioned it in the Netflix documentary?)

[random spear]

lmao what

[leaden brook]

CAN IU DO THAT

[radiant latch]

took a selfie with her

[sharp cairn]

The Ax-4 delay from this fall to next spring was probably due to Fram2 needing a capsule

[random spear]

endurance won’t ever be returning to the ISS

[distant hemlock]

cool graphic

[random spear]

even before Fram2

[radiant latch]

we need more Dragons

[distant hemlock]

[wispy talon]

They better name the next Dragon 'Audacity'

[radiant latch]

It would be an honor to manuafacture them first hand tbh

my teacher did

[wispy talon]

it'd be like watching my kid go to college

[distant hemlock]

THEYRE GONIN IN

[radiant latch]

his name is etched on the Tesla Roadster

[random spear]

resilience is so jared tailored so

[wispy talon]

eyyyy sign the thingyyy

wait will jared sign again?

[radiant latch]

white room autograph

[distant hemlock]

my name is in jpl!
the 2023 summer intern list

but yeah

[radiant latch]

16 people will be in space at T+3:00 tonight

[fickle elm]

oh yeah I forgot he is actually doing some good too instead of just risky extreme sports in space

[radiant latch]

19 people after Soyuz MS-26 launches

[wispy talon]

hell yeah

[distant hemlock]

someone launch a shpered

[radiant latch]

i think that's a record broken

17 is the last record

[wispy talon]

i mean we could just ANZAC a Sheperd and launch it

just gimme some hydrazine and 3 days in a garage

[distant hemlock]

we could do it

[wispy talon]

FOR THE PINKERTON AGENT LISTENING IN ON BEHALF OF BLUE ORIGIN, THIS IS A JOKE.

[distant hemlock]

[radiant latch]

kinda interesting that the record for humans in orbit will be broken on 9/11

[wanton abyss]

oh no they don't outsource. the blue origin paramilitary death squad is all them

[wispy talon]

[distant hemlock]

help jeff bezoz is at my front door

what have you done

[wanton abyss]

the blorgin nooglin landing on your roof:

[radiant latch]

doesnt count

[random spear]

hmmm

what do i do in kerbal

[radiant latch]

only orbital flights count

[distant hemlock]

number of people past the karmen line

[radiant latch]

for like what

2 mins

[distant hemlock]

yeah

[radiant latch]

not good enough

[distant hemlock]

LAUNCH NEW GLENN WITH AN ORION ON IT

[radiant latch]

true

[random spear]

blue crew

[distant hemlock]

1 MORBILLION PEOPLE ON MARS BY 2025

[wanton abyss]

Space Vehicle

[random spear]

blue crew sounds better

[wanton abyss]

wouldn't be blue without a stupid program name

[distant hemlock]

New gemini

[random spear]

what is the target orbit

[distant hemlock]

high

[wanton abyss]

like 200x700 initial iirc

[random spear]

isn’t it going straight to the 1500

also what inclination

[wanton abyss]

they're not circularizing which is lame

[wispy talon]

New Grissom

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[remote gazelle]

I’m so excited been a long wait for this one

[wanton abyss]

oh fuck wait I've just

oh god

worst timeline thought

[distant hemlock]

LAUNCH VULCAN WITH PEOPLE STRAPPED TO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[radiant latch]

that would be 11 americans, 4 russians, and 3 chinese in space once soyuz launches

[distant hemlock]

what

[wispy talon]

why'd you ask!?

[distant hemlock]

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

oh fuck

[radiant latch]

11

americans

[wanton abyss]

don't worry about it if I don't voice it it won't come to fruition

[distant hemlock]

well now we have to wish for failure because thats how this works

The nxf curse

[random spear]

no

[wanton abyss]

do second stage MVac sense lines ever fail?

[radiant latch]

uh

[wispy talon]

not afaik.
do not expand.

[random spear]

never on a polaris dawn intended second stage

[distant hemlock]

as in not having fun failure

LOL

[radiant latch]

i should ask my teacher he worked on the mvac

[distant hemlock]

that line

[wanton abyss]

could you imagine it happening twice

funny as hell

[random spear]

nah as in let’s not wish for failure on a crewed mission

[distant hemlock]

"the crew will spend most of their time in the pressurized segment"

[wanton abyss]

awful but funny

[random spear]

at least it wouldn’t risk PD

[distant hemlock]

ik

[radiant latch]

i actually dont know what the purpose of the eva will be

[distant hemlock]

I was refrencing the vega launch

[distant hemlock]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[radiant latch]

what are they gonna do during it

??

[distant hemlock]

also spacex eva suit demo

[radiant latch]

do they have like something to fetch in the trunk or deploy something?

[distant hemlock]

no

[radiant latch]

starlink in space is so fucking based

[distant hemlock]

ok now they are wasting time

Cool graphic though

[radiant latch]

dude

there's over 2 and a half hours left

they have plenty of time to kill

[distant hemlock]

Yeah

BUT I WANT IT NOW!

[wispy talon]

the last time someone had to eva to fetch something in the service module of the capsule, it didn't go very well.

[radiant latch]

yeah but like

usually evas have a purpose

[wanton abyss]

tech demo

[distant hemlock]

this one does

[radiant latch]

like changing batteries or grabbing a piece of film

[wispy talon]

this eva has a purpose and it's to test the suit

[distant hemlock]

eva suit demo

[wispy talon]

dude

[distant hemlock]

I already said this

[random spear]

what may i be doing

[distant hemlock]

beat them to orbit smh

[wispy talon]

sibling
people are already freaking out over someone peeking out of a capsule and holding onto a fucking rail

[wanton abyss]

very much looking forward to Apollo 9 Redux

[wispy talon]

can you IMAGINE free floating and doing tasks

[random spear]

1200x1200 51.6🫡

[radiant latch]

will starship have an airlock

[wispy talon]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

yes?

i think

[distant hemlock]

[wispy talon]

mayhaps

[radiant latch]

im assuming these suits can serve as a foundation for Starship evas

[void hemlock]

INSPRUCKER

[wispy talon]

i think so yeah

[void hemlock]

[wanton abyss]

we've already seen the HLS one

[wispy talon]

OHHH SPRUCKKKKKK

[radiant latch]

I love John so much

[random spear]

for moonwalking?

[distant hemlock]

hes here

yay

[random spear]

can’t do much in this current suit

[wispy talon]

there's the airlock for the lander and the airlock for an orbital crewed boi

[radiant latch]

when you hear this guy speaking, you know it's a big fucking deal

[wispy talon]

i dunno if they'd be the same or not

[wanton abyss]

airlock is made of airlock I'd assume

[wispy talon]

stunning.

game over.

Ok but if they cannot land because of weather how long can they stay on orbit?

[radiant latch]

any eva

[random spear]

guys

i’m gonna be security officer 3

[wispy talon]

dishwasher.

[wanton abyss]

DO. NOT. WORK. AT. REDMOND.

[distant hemlock]

security officer 3

[wanton abyss]

at least not as a contractor

[random spear]

why

[wanton abyss]

but the full time employees treat the contractors like shit so that should say a lot about their character

[wispy talon]

good question
i dunno

[random spear]

oh

[distant hemlock]

forever!!!!!!!!!!

[radiant latch]

im gonna apply at Hawthorne

[distant hemlock]

New space station

[radiant latch]

TIG welder

[distant hemlock]

Yeah

im prob not gonna work at spx

[wanton abyss]

our spy quit because a supervisor straight up said "you're replaceable gtfo"

[random spear]

mmm

[distant hemlock]

I have very good connections at JPL already

[radiant latch]

Hawthorne is quite a drive but it's worth it

[random spear]

spy…?

[idle jackal]

wait is it today

[radiant latch]

I have a mild connection for Hawthorne

[distant hemlock]

well

[wanton abyss]

we do be joeing

[wispy talon]

one of the Goddard folks who knows spacex employees and who was also at Starbase at one point told me to avoid spacex if i could

[distant hemlock]

technicaly no

[wanton abyss]

y'know we could go site by site or just say "do not fucking work for SpaceX it's not worth it"

[random spear]

spacex is infamous for overworking

it’d be cool to work on falcon tho

[leaden brook]

^?

[radiant latch]

Im gonna try to work for them anyway

[wispy talon]

then again a lot of the engineers have that toxic Apollo grindset
"WE GOTTA GET TO MARS NOL;QFNOANEDFNQWF"

[distant hemlock]

Lol my friend is like that

[radiant latch]

I fully believe in their vision, I would be honored to be part of it

[distant hemlock]

hes a welder in starbase

[wanton abyss]

out of all the sites if I had to guess Bastrop is the chillest but they're not really doing a ton there yet

[radiant latch]

yoo?

[distant hemlock]

works like 14 hours and loves it

[nocturne night]

this is a sample size of 1 but at one point had a chance to talk to a guy who worked on Draco/superdraco r&d/test at mcgregor and said with them specifically work life balance was pretty good actually

[radiant latch]

Does he weld the outside of Starship? or what does he work on, im a welding student

[radiant latch]

literally me

[distant hemlock]

He works on the inside filters and shit

[radiant latch]

wow that's cool

[nocturne night]

so not all the SpaceX positions seem to be as bad, though the norm seems to be definitely quite a bit sketchy

[wanton abyss]

you're telling me superdraco folks don't have a ton to do? wonder why

[wispy talon]

i'd 100% work myself to death if spacex told me to
and frankly
that's why i'm considering avoiding it lmao

[nocturne night]

yeah lol

[radiant latch]

probably similar to sanitary welding

[distant hemlock]

Yeah but he sucks at project zomboid

[nocturne night]

id imagine in general F9 stuff is probably a lot more chill then starship stuff

though idk maybe its just as bad lol

[radiant latch]

my instructor worked on the dragon LES

[wispy talon]

nowadays yeah

mainly maintenance/merlin vac stuffs afaik

[random spear]

did your instructor do everything

[radiant latch]

welp he worked there for a while

[wanton abyss]

yeah with the exception of the S2/MVac prod lines if I had to guess

[radiant latch]

he did Dragon, LES, MVAC, etc...

[void hemlock]

I just realized the railing setup is called "Skywalker" and uh...

something happened today...

[random spear]

woah seco!!

[radiant latch]

em vack

[wispy talon]

ngl I like the more tame quindar tones used

never really noticed them until now

[random spear]

the what

[wispy talon]

compared to Apollo

[radiant latch]

The spacex quindars fill me with serotonin

[wispy talon]

the little BEEP preceeding the message

[radiant latch]

like them more than the nasa ones

They are watching cocomelon on the screen rn

[wanton abyss]

the only reason '60s PAOs were so cool-sounding is because they smoked like 5 packs of cigs a day

all this space tech and we can't even get a decent broadcasting platform

[modest panther]

Oh we're actually going?

[void hemlock]

"stream exclusively on Twitter he said..."
"it'll be FINE he said..."

[supple briar]

Is the stream down?

[fickle elm]

[arctic marsh]

is the vlc also cooked

[wispy talon]

[modest panther]

Does the VLC trick work?

[supple briar]

Goddam it YouTube was so good. What's worse is SpaceX was the first to bring 4k launch streaming and now it's inaccessible

[wanton abyss]

"slow dumpster fire partially held together by H-1B visa slaves and oil money" works too

[iron swift]

omg are we going fr this time?

no more infinite one day delay possibly?

[void hemlock]

No because Twitter shit itself

[eager yarrow]

It could still scrub...

[wispy talon]

not if the stream shits itself

[random spear]

the stream is still dead

[wanton abyss]

oh look at that the "most relevant replies" are all muskbots

[void hemlock]

You're never gonna get anything to Mars if this is your streaming platform

[sharp cairn]

It's back

[eager yarrow]

It's back

[wispy talon]

ITS A FUCKING MIRACLE

[eager yarrow]

Wait is it?

[random spear]

did jared forget to pay for the full webcast

[wispy talon]

....

[modest panther]

Ah well it can break in multiple points

Please please please let IFT 5 be streamed on youtube

[wanton abyss]

marcus if you're using chromium open the twitter broadcast, control+shift+i, go to network and filter by "master"

[distant hemlock]

[fickle elm]

a thought for you guys: life on Mars will be similar to this. Musk will use his power as CEO to push whatever shitty thing he's promoting on Mars. and you are stuck there 50+ million kilometers from opting out

[distant hemlock]

no

[wispy talon]

no

[void hemlock]

The Gravity-1 Y1 stream was less of a mess than this my god...

[distant hemlock]

ift 2 was more stable

[wispy talon]

[molten tundra]

Bro if this happens at launch I will personally destroy Elon if he doesn’t let SpaceX stream on YT again

[wispy talon]

[distant hemlock]

Feels like a record youd see in a 2007 ripleys believe it or not

"PRIVATE SPACE WALK, ca:2003"

[wanton abyss]

I have a better idea (the livestream would cut out but oh well)

[fickle elm]

if everyone can abandon Twitter and force it into bankruptcy then things can improve again

Incidently, I'd previously guessed that the launch times were chosen to keep the spacecraft as far from the Long March 6A debris. Sure enough looking it up it'll be on the other side of the Earth at T-0.
This upper stage broke up soon after launch on August 6th.
