SpaceX Nerd-Tom

So, Crew 10 is slated to launch Friday March 14th, at 7:03 PM EST from 39A in Cape Canaveral. It's not after sunset, but in dusk. Jellyfish should still be epic! I'll try and go live around 6:30 PM est USA! Hoping for a go, as further scrubs push instantaneous windows into daylight. This will be from North Carolina, USA, about 500 miles North of Cape Canaveral, FL. The stage sep and second stage burn are fully visible off our coast! Stage is landing at LZ1 at ksc. When the first stage lands on a barge, it usually parked off our coast, so we also catch reentry burn, but doubt that for crew 10. JOIN US!

I'm going to try to go live tonight from Ft. Fisher, NC. This is south of Carolina Beach, NC. I'm going to try to stream the Jellyfish Falcon 9 Crew 10 Launch. The launch is currently scheduled for 7:45PM EST, which is just 30 minutes after sunset. So the sky will be in full darkness, but the Falcon 9 1st and 2nd Stages will be in full sunlight above. Normally we can see stage separation, entry burn, and the second stage full burn up to the north on ISS missions. The skies are clear tonight. I'll begin the stream hopefully around 7:30 PM EST! If it goes, we should get some great views! I'm going to try and stream in HD, if I have a good signal. There is very little light pollution at Ft. Fisher. Masonboro Island would be ideal, but I don't have time to prep my boat for that trip. I hope to get a drone in the future to make more exciting adventure videos of what I go through to film these launches from Cape Canaveral! Please join in, superchats are always welcome. Please share, like, and subscribe! See you tonight Space Fans! PS, my dog Risky might be with me too!

SpaceX received its launch license from FAA for IFT7! Let us know in the poll below when you think Starship Integrated Flight Test 7 will happen. x.com/NASASpaceflight/status/1869534351815299472

For the record, here at SN-T, and knowing Elon's drive: SN-T Predicts that the launch will happen after Christmas, but before the New Year! I think SpaceX wants to keep up the tempo, and to preserve as many of 2025 launches for developmental test flights beyond what we are seeing in IFT5-7. He wants to get this one done now. I say possible full stack just before Christmas, WDR just after. Launch sometime between 12/29-12/31. That is quick. But that is how Elon rolls. What do you think?
