If your interested, American Astronauts will go up to the ISS on an American rocket, first time in 10 years since the Shuttle.

I believe it's 21:30, not 20:30.

Looking forward to this, 2030 GMT 2130 BST although the weather may have an impact.

Apart from NASA’s stream does anyone know what UK channel is showing tonight’s historical launch?

None of them.

Weather forecast is now 60% favourable, apparently.

Looking forward to this also, maybe sky could send Beth Rigby on a one way ticket

No not one way but maybe some time away will convince her that it’s ok to admit being born a man?

Is there a link to this somewhere?
What direction & altitude?
Will it be easy to see? i.e. will rockets still be burning? Or will it be in near orbit at this point?

It passes over us about 15 mins after leaving Florida. This site has been absolutely bang on with all recent ISS and Starlink timings/visibility (yes I know it sounds boring, but anything to break lockdown tedium). ISS the last few nights has been exceptionally bright

Just over 5 hours cannot wait for this, hope the weather doesn’t delay lift off.

Really looking forward to this, as you say I hope the weather doesn't interfere.

Frutos · May 27, 2020

Weather is currently 50/50.

Frutos · May 27, 2020

The crew are currently getting strapped in - all on course so far.

A bit premature, but who cares.

This is very exciting, the Dragon looks incredible inside, nothing like the shuttle!! Fingers crossed for weather window.
