Between Space X and Rocket Lab, space seems cool again

Live now, launch as early as 30mins away. They are trying to land all three boosters this time so should be pretty awesome

[Kirwan]

5mins

@Kirwan home sick today. Feeling like shit but this should soothe my misery. Fuck yes.

[Kirwan]

Never gets old watching those synchronised boosters land. All three down safe!

[NTA]

Only just got to separation??

Anyway the fucking ads on this feed are bullshit

[Kirwan]

@NTA you must not be live?

[Hooroo]

I had an advert right on take-off, that was a bit stink. Every other part of that was wicked! Cheers for posting @Kirwan Really cool

[Kirwan]

I didn’t have ads on mine, I might have given you guys a dud link.

No biggie. This "Space & Universe" channel is a bit poo.

Boosters landed. Awesome part over

[Kirwan]

Mine was delayed and I pushed the next icon on the video to skip it live. Must have broken the ads doing that?

The latest issue of Main Engine Cut Off podcast alked about the plan for the USAF to launch 21 satellites for 25M. Currently, most of those will need to be Rocket Lab as their cost is so much lower than all other options
