SpaceX is targeting Friday, April 7 for launch of the Intelsat IS-40e mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 119-minute launch window opens at 12:30 a.m. ET (04:30 UTC). If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Saturday, April 8 with a 119-minute window opening at 12:29 a.m. ET (04:29 UTC).
The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-26, OneWeb Launch 16, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

Utilizing a Regenerating battery power source would be beneficial and possibly alleviate any explosions I'm not an expert yet I think it could work as well as how much mass could it handle passenger and cargo factors into consideration for longer, further efficient and effective travel time Thanks for bringing Space travel for consumers and other human as well as Artificial Intelligence factors

It was great to back in Florida to watch this launch live ❤Go SpaceX 👍

Elon Musk. Hello; This letter is addressed to every person who has ever been in my place, that of ONLY dreaming. Having many dreams/ideas/inventions etc. By performing "new" to come. Punctually I am NOT looking for fame, but I am looking for money so that my life can completely change course, definitively leaving the current situation, in which many of us do not want to be. My ideas are related to the automotive market but there are others that can make a difference with their creation. To you man/woman, I just need a chance, I'm 34 years old and that's it. Please share until you find whoever you say; if I help you !
The amount of details in the commentary is fantastic. This will get more and more younger kids interested. Thank you guys..!

I want more tunes! the rest is great but test shot starfish is pretty good too....In fact it's playin now may not be for you but oh well I like it.
@Relawan_Volunteer_SK289 Says:
we could assisted Artemis Human to Lunar mission trough simulation with animaion and research etc to make and improve this mission perfect point incease,,where so much record accident impact on human space mission into astronout,,we have very does'nt want it happen,,thanks

To SpaceX: Let's go to Mars, my friends. What are we waiting for?! Thousands of volunteers, where I'm just one, to go, at least, to the orbit of Mars. Let's go. I really believe, and it's a legitimate thought, that SpaceX should lead the way. Dragon XL, or XXL, or Dragon IP (interplanetary), I will write to you with some details. Of course, you have your paid minds/brains to imagine many future possibilities, but... SpaceX is already an international loved enterprise so we all have something to say. Do you want to send a trained astronaut, or do you want to send a dreamer? I just need a spacecraft, with food and water, and very good communications to the millions of dreamers back on Earth. Please, consider this. Luís

Place the satellites between Earth and Mars, beam internet to Mars, send rocket ship filled with Boston dynamic type robots, control from Earth 🤔
@botabaetova5821 Says:
Oh my goodness
@pinkelephants1421 Says:
Given how successful SpaceX has been with reusable Stage 1 boosters and Fairings, and the accompanying massive reduction in launch costs, it's really surprising that other than my Kiwi brethern's 🚀 launch company, we don't seem to see other space launch industry competitors attempting to make inroads into reusable space launch componentry.
You'd think that seeing what's effectively still something of an upstart in the aerospace industry eating your lunch on a weekly basis would prompt SpaceX's competition to get up off of their duffs and make an effort. Maybe once Starship becomes established, we'll finally see other space launch industry players taking a new trajectory.

Kate is a great host btw

Beautiful shots and tracking! Congraz again from germany.
@ChrisBigBad Says:
Why does anyone still bother with launching geostationary internets? What deal can they offer? It can only be WAAAAY cheaper than starlink. But can they? Or it may be less burdened over major customer centers. so you can do bulk downloads, because no one wants to use it for anything else because the latency is so bad. I don't get it.
@RetroJack Says:
I'm always impressed how they manage to say the same things differently each time.
@F4xn Says:
When they goin mars?
@alexi007 Says:
If the states of Nevada and Texas introduce the position or title of honorary president, then Elon Musk will be the first to receive such an honor in both states at once.
@juomini Says:
No disrespect to the hosts, but when you watch a lot of launches, the commentary gets really old, especially when they repeat things within the same launch. In case you just joined us... I'd love a version with only the comms.
@guarmiron5557 Says:
Space X needs to stop wrecking space for earth based astronomy. Stop putting up Starlink.

Guys do you like it?
@kemmow25 Says:
Seeing those boosters land never get old. I see them like musk middle finger to everyone saying it cant be done. It is a reminder to all to keep trying and pushing.
@dicksargent69 Says:
I wonder if this contributed to a global Starlink Internet outage, that just happened...
@Playsgames2026 Says:
i just love the person who does the countdown on these always sounds so happy and says "go falcon go IS-40E" always makes me smile
@mattw7949 Says:
Impressive, but Elon is still a D-bag.

@pshellien Says:
After all these successful launches and landings, SpaceX has to be the go to company for anyone wanting to put anything into space.
The amazing engineering and precision of what happens on such a regular basis now, should not be underestimated. This is the future now.
So much looking forward to the candle lighting on Starship

Must be first time that the narrator interrupted all of the callouts. Better synchronised before.

I hope falcon 9 isnt as creaky as that presenters voice.

Incredible as always!

Thank you SpaceX! Thank you "youtube"!

Go Baby, Go!!!!!!
@rosswarren436 Says:
Is the 2nd stage deorbited on these GTO missions or do they let the relatively low perigee bring it down over a period of months?
@Anmeteor9663 Says:
Is it just my perception but are the landings getting more and more off center in the last year? This one barely made the circle.
