SpaceX is targeting Sunday, May 14 at 1:03 a.m. ET (05:03 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 56 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. If needed, there are additional launch opportunities the same day at 2:44 a.m. ET (06:44 UTC), and 4:25 a.m. ET (8:25 UTC). Backup opportunities are also available on Monday, May 15 at 12:38 a.m. ET (04:38 UTC), 2:19 a.m. ET (06:19 UTC), and 4:00 a.m. ET (08:00 UTC).
The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, mPOWER-a and three Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
In the 10 ring on the landing once again! Great job SpaceX team!

V+ 8:50: Blab-blab ends.
Would be great if we had downlights on Stage 1 during nightime descents. Dual-screen and telemetry losses are annoying.
'Transonic' is "[crossing to below] the speed of sound."

coming soon to mars

17:33 This landing thing..... how hard can it be?
_Just read the instructions_
@ivankuljis1780 Says:
11:37 Stage separation always excites. Second stage ignition is highly anticipated everytime.

Wasn't this the 200th successful landing of a booster? If not I know it's close!
@mikeober9773 Says:
SpaceX, can we get the video of a FH center core reentry and crash/splashdown?
@orion3267 Says:
With every Starlink launch, I get closer to actually getting my satellite package delivered to me. Can’t wait.
@Pintuuuxo Says:
At 5:25 you say: "... As a reminder, Falcon 9 is a reusable 2 stage rocket..." Not completely right. You should say: "... Falcon 9 is a 2 stage rocket in which the 1st stage is reusable..." Here to help you.
@user-xx6nj8eg4o Says:
Just saw a trail of starlinks pass over the Bay Area last night, it’s quite a sight.

Is the blue line where the satellites will be in orbit?

@AmericanPsycho73 Says:
2 question for anyone who might know: (1) regarding MaxQ, how do they measure "stress on the vehicle?" Are there actual sensors measuring pressure on the rocket's surface? (2) At its maximum, how long is that glowing trail of exhaust fire from the Raptor engines as it travels through the atmosphere? Thank you!
@AmericanPsycho73 Says:
I bet these SpaceX videos have inspired so many kids to become future rocket scientists. Over the last several years, the fascination with rocket science has really.... taken off.

Good job team

Watch out SpaceX...some countries want to steal your technology....they never created anything ...just stealing.
@PentaxAstro Says:
Interesting that they use such variation in the count down.
@paulgage7495 Says:
With the re-use feature the Falcon 9 is definitely doing much better than ULA on being best prepared for the future.
@funkengruven7773 Says:
I finally saw them! I trail of about 30 little lights streaking overhead in the night sky in a perfect line. This was last week in Georgia, USA. Of course it was a train of Starlink satellites, but it was also the coolest thing I've seen in the night sky in a long time. It only took them about 20 seconds to go from horizon to horizon (what I could see of it) as they were moving. Too cool!!!

Just saw the string of satellites in the sky over PA.

When skydiving, we called those landings DCs (DEAD CENTER)!

Insane how quick it gets out of the atmosphere. Never will get bored of these! Elon send me to mars you won’t 😅

Good job Mr.Elon Sir.
Another successful launch as well as, the return of the booster.
I hopest too sees an udder one says little MJ.
@Ship34Block2 Says:
10:15 Just look at that view! A huge congratulations to the entire SpaceX team! Occupy Mars!❤
@ai6mk897 Says:
Just a comment. When you advertise the launch time/date on Youtube as an upcoming event I believe the time is UTC, but you never specify that.
I've noticed that SpaceX has been reducing the coverage, especially deployment of StarLink Satellites. My preference is to eliminate the commentary and instead just give us the video/timeline and listening to the NET.
The engineering is awesome and the operation is very professional. I would love to see a video of how a booster is recovered and refurbished to make it ready for launch.

always thrilling to watch the landings! thanks for another great post.

Frackin' unbelievable...again.
@YaoiMastah Says:
I'm sure everybody by now knows how it works. Can we suggest thirdparty narrators at this point? I know a professor from England who'd be the perfect narrator. He would say things like: "Whelp, the vehicle is hurling downrange.", "Max Q is twice the speed of a Gloster Meteor, or three times the speed of a Spitfire", "Lovely view of the second-stage engine chugging along"

I used to watch it on FB. You no longer stream on it? I don't even get notifications?
