SpaceX CRS-20 Launch Tonight

It's not obfuscation. It's me explaining why your arbitrary goalpost is horseshit. Hey genius, what do you see all around the landing pads in that pic up there? Tell me, what do you see? Trees! The landing pads are in a nature preserve, it's buffer space to make sure if anything goes wrong it doesn't damage civilian areas just a few miles away. There's nowhere I can go to track it continuously with my telescope from launch to landing where the landing is not at least partially obscured by trees. However, partial is not total and I HAVE proven that these landings are real. You can still see the top of the booster AFTER touchdown. Guess what that means genius? It's still there and it's real. I was the first to do that out of anyone in the civilian population starting with the first Falcon Heavy launch. Nothing you say will ever turn these facts into "obfuscation."

If I filmed something I knew was true - I surely wouldn't act as insecure as this fella.

I'd be "if you don't believe me, I don't care. I have no profit in proving this to be true to you"

Odd behavior and only adding to my skepticism

just wanted to analyze unmolested amateur footage.

Thanks for the ridicule.

I’ll now just assume it’s fake since you’re acting so oddly

"SpaceX" is a real thing dude.
I watched starlink satellites the other morning while out walking the dog. All going from west to east in the clear, predawn sky.

Their goal is to place 12,000 satellites up there. Imagine looking up into the clear night sky without being able to NOT see a lot of moving objects overhead.

Why?

So everyone can have satellite Internet (and who knows what else) so Musk can make enough $ to advance is mars projects.

I'm actually a fan, OP.

And I gave it to you.

You're welcome.

Thanks for claiming it's fake without evidence. It's not fake you fucking piece of shit. If you're so confident it's fake, then fly out here to Florida and say that shit to my face as you witness the next LZ-1 landing. I'll even let you see it up close through the eyepiece of the telescope, then you can explained how I faked something you saw with your own eyes. Hell, I'll even arrange to get you on base and drive you up to the fucking booster after it lands, then you can explain to me how the thing towering over you isn't actually there. So what do you say, cocksucker, you ready to put your money where your fucking mouth is?

They waste all this money with these "scientific" fireworks, yet there's still no cure for cancer. You have to question the motives for all this. Money should be better spent.

You think they do this just for the spectacle of the launch? Wrong. Lots of medical research goes up on each mission. I know about some of it going up on this mission, but I'm not allowed to share the details.

What a perfect time to waste a trillion dollars. Go Trump! Spend baby spend!

Oh gawd here we go again with this crap.

If you think it's "crap" then man the fuck up and come on out here to Florida to record it yourself. If it's all a hoax you can blow the story wide open, everyone around the area can see the launch and the landing happen. You can hear the sonic booms too.

SpaceX is set to launch CRS-20 tonight at 11:50 pm eastern time. This will be the final launch of the original ISS cargo resupply contract. The next mission, CRS-21, will bring with it some changes in how SpaceX conducts these missions, including recovering the capsules in the Atlantic. The first stage booster, B1059, was last used to launch CRS-19, and will be attempting an LZ-1 landing after tonight's launch. The second stage was swapped with one already being prepared for a Starlink launch next week after a valve problem was found with the second stage originally designated for tonight's launch. Ground winds are the primary weather concern for tonight, but are expected to lessen if they need to go to the backup opportunity tomorrow night.
