Oops! Clock bumped up twenty minutes.

Darn, the launch was delayed. T-45 min

 

[AlexB23]

Alright, here is the launch timeline, directly from the video.

And here is the weather in Cape Canaveral (the launch site), for those interested in wind speeds. 76°F is 24°C, for metric system users (metric is better, but that's for another discussion). 7 mph wind is 11 km/h in the metric.

Launch time adjusted to 10:23 Eastern Time (02:23 UTC). Delayed once again to T-42 mins.

By the way, for those who are not well versed in space, the Starlink satellite is an internet satellite which allows users in remote areas to get an internet connection, for a high fee. Here is a 3D drawing of a Starlink satellite, by Brandon Westlake. The satellite is flat in design, with a large solar panel protruding from the instrument bus.

T-33 minutes guys.

 

[AlexB23]

T-20 minutes. Please no more delays in launching.

 

[AlexB23]

Rocket is in the air, heading for space. T+2.5 minutes

 

[AlexB23]

Wow, the rocket engine was glowing red hot.

 

[rockytopva]

And first stage touchdown!

 

[AlexB23]

Boosters just landed. Man, I am talking too much about rockets.

 

[AlexB23]

And first stage touchdown!

Amen to that, and no explosions. The video froze though, when the booster was still going 59 km/h (<40 mph)

Anyways, the launch has concluded. I hope you have a blessed day @rockytopva . We will have to see when the next rocket launch will be. I will try being there again, and I will be making an absurd amount of posts about it, as science is my passion (well, God and His Creation is).

Thanks and blessings to you as well. I like keeping up with this kind of stuff.

You are welcome. We can always keep up with space stuff, as the Bible encourages us to study God's Creation. Now, Starlink satellites may not analyze the universe (and have high fees), but this communications tech could be used to transfer data really fast, enabling scientists to access the internet from remote places.

Psalm 111:2 "Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them."

This verse expresses admiration for God's great creation and works. Scientists engage with these works through their research and discovery. Faith and science complement each other, as both can acknowledge God's presence and power in the natural world. Scientific inquiry can be driven by a belief in a deeper meaning to the universe and a recognition of God's involvement. The verse affirms that studying God's works deepens our appreciation for and connection to the LORD.
