Edit: As soon as I post it the livestream seems to be down. We’ll see if it starts again before the landing attempt.
Edit 2: Apparently the landing was successful.

I have to say that was more of a Hollywood collapse than I thought it would be.

You have to love the James Bond movie filmed here.

Squint eyed Brosnan was one of my least favorite bonds but I liked the movies anyway.

Sean Connery, Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore and everyone else.

Sean Connery definitely number 1. Roger Moore may be number 2, but opposite of Brosnan because I dont like Moore's movies as much.

Craig I never bought as Bond since his first movie where he runs thru a wall chasing a guy. Bond doesnt run thru walls. He may drive thru them or smash them down with a cool gadget, but he doesnt run thru them. I like the movies, some great villains in there.

The first time Silva greets Bond on the island in skyfall was one of the best scenes in a Bond movie ever. Not including any of the hot chick scenes.

Hayabusa2 to drop capsule to Earth with ancient asteroid samples
They are dropping it in Australia so we should have a good bit of warning before whatever alien hitchhikers arrive with it make it to the US.

This is awesome. Hayabusa 2 threw the capsule out the window, and is now on it's way to another asteroid.

Just wait until ours gets here.

SpaceX Live Coverage link for tomorrow's SN8 flight test.

Looks like they are serious about launching tomorrow. Hopefully their testing today goes well.

I do wonder if they will decide to just do a water landing attempt and not risk the pad infrastructure for this first time. SN9 is basically waiting in the wings so sacrificing SN8 won’t really slow them down.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Hopefully this isn't an issue.

Tim is probably my favorite YouTuber, or definitely at least one of my favorites. I recommend him to everyone I know.

What time are they shooting for tomorrow, or has that been released yet?
