Since there was such a positive response to the embedded live feed of SpaceX’s first manned Dragon launch a few days go, I’ve decided to embed below the live feed of their next launch tonight of 60 Starlink satellites. The launch is set for 9:25 pm (Eastern), with the live feed starting fifteen minutes before that.
Enjoy. Watching that first stage land never gets old.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Great show as usual. I think it’s the first time we see the tension rods release and fly away?
And we finally have a five-time booster. Go for sixth? Of course!
Rinse, Wash, Repeat. I swear these folks are making this look easy. Which any sane person knows it’s anything but easy. Bravo Zulu SpaceX
When you make it look easy, no matter what your doing, you have become a professional.
When you do it so well that people can not find your mistakes you have become an artist.
Thank you for all the great work you are doing with this webpage.
I visit everytime there is a launch to check out the standings :). So as the space industry keeps growing their launch count, so should your visit count!
