Will we able to see it pass over Sussex in a few minutes, or is the sky too bright?
Too light......second pass at 10.15, 5 mins after ISS (which will be very bright, coming from the West - v easy to see)

Successful landing of the first stage.
Stunning stuff.

I asked my partner this - he used to work at EAC and is generally a space fanatic.Hey Frutos, what happens with the second stage engine? Is it just discarded in space or does that return also?
My word, that was cool. Big fist pump moment here as I saw it had landed. Shame the actual moment was cut off but still, that was amazing

He says it's just discarded.
Yep, I think that is the hope for the future.I could be wrong, but I think they said the plan is to make the whole thing reusable in the future, unless I misunderstood what someone on the NASA YouTube stream I was watching said.
Imagine if you’d told someone 100 years ago this would be possible, science is really impossibly clever isn’t it.
Cnt Trump on bbc news, aiming for reflected glory.
Switched over to CNN, Trump free zone,
It took the human race until 1903 to manage sustained powered flight, 66 years later they were on the moon and only a the cone of the spaceship came back. Now most of it is reusable. What struck me was how 21st century everything looks. From mission control with just basic tables and monitors to the actual interior of the spacecraft. Remember the Apollo space craft and the bank of dials and lights.
Why not, this probably would not have happened without the support of the government funding NASA again. Let's not ruin the thread with bloody politics.
He made it political by showing up, always with angle to further his career.

Here’s the inside of Boeing Starliner Capsule which they hope will take Astronauts upto the ISS next year
It seats 7 and lands in the dessert with rockets rather than parachutes into the ocean.
