SpaceX launch ~53 minutes after this post. Classified NRO payload, 2nd daytime return to landing site attempt. Right at sunrise too, so should be some epic photographs

One day late, but great video

That they maintain external view of the booster almost constantly is impressive. Do they have a something aloft for the higher altitudes?

There have been long range tracking cameras since Gemini. In the movie Apollo13 you can see an operator getting one set at the beginning of the crowd sequence for the launch.

Indeed the excellent views having always been technologically possible; the main reason we haven't seen stuff like this before is because it was the first daytime-without-overcast-clouds RTLS launch.

He might be right about "living planets". They've found so many potentially habitable exoplanets out there. One of them might have life on it.

Watch SpaceX fire up the first big engine test of the Falcon Heavy’s main core

Quote:

SpaceX has been promising to fly its next big rocket, the Falcon Heavy, for about four years now — but in a new video released today, the company revealed the vehicle may be finally getting ready for its maiden voyage. The video shows the Falcon Heavy’s main core going through its first major static fire test, which ignites the booster’s engines while the vehicle is strapped down. The test was conducted at SpaceX’s test site and development facility in McGregor, Texas, last week, ahead of a planned late-summer launch.
