Live stream of SpaceX launch of two lunar landersI have embedded below the live stream of tonight’s launch by SpaceX of its Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy, carrying a dual lunar lander payload, Firefly’s Blue Ghost and Ispace’s Resilience, scheduled for 1:11 am (Eastern).
Blue Ghost will take 45 days to reach the Moon, when it will land in Mare Crisium on the eastern edge of the Moon’s visible hemisphere.
Resilience will take a much longer route, not arriving at the Moon for four to five months. It will then attempt to land in Mare Frigoris in the high northern latitudes of the visible hemisphere. If successful it will also deploy its own mini-rover dubbed Tenacious.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

“Mare Figoris”
Mare Frigoris.
I can’t watch this one either. It, iSpace’s livestream, and NASA’s livestream all want me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot.
I don’t have a YouTube account. I don’t want a YouTube account. I’m not getting a YouTube account, and screw you for trying to make me.
mkent: I don’t have a youtube account either. I have no idea why youtube is demanding you sign in. (I haven’t signed in to Google in almost a decade, and have no intention of doing so ever.) It doesn’t request this as far as I know on all the videos I embed.
The problem clearly is at your end. I wish I could help, despite the rude way in which you made your problem known.
Call Me Ishmael: Typo fixed. Thanks.
I’ve been seeing the sign in to prove your not a bot message more and more. It tends to be when I’m using a ISP that is doing Carrier Grade NAT and I’m sharing that one IP with dozens of people. Or if I’m using the company VPN service (which has the same effect). Just a data point to consider.
mkent;
When the “sign-in” pops up, click/select on any alternative video which will start something playing, then click the arrow back to the previous screen you want to see… and the login screen will be gone. (at least it works for me)
More more clicks, the more revenue for advertising and if they get people to login, even better. They’ll usually leave a work around just so people who don’t have an account can be counted as a click. Otherwise the former customers will leave and never come back… there’s far too many alternatives to risk annoying customers. (their public/private partnership guaranteeing monopoly government approval isn’t working out so well… they can’t even ban tick-tock from the American market! Especially with all those millions of dollars of bribes to Hunter)
”I wish I could help, despite the rude way in which you made your problem known.”
My sincere apologies. For the record, my ire was directed at YouTube, not you, hence the reference to the iSpace and NASA (and also NASASpaceFlight) feeds, all of which were doing the same thing. But, regardless, my apologies.
mkent: Apology accepted. Some advice: If you are express ire, make sure you are very precise about what you say. And in general, emotional venting is counter-productive.
