oops. 26 minutes? (maybe they edited out 10 minutes at the beginning?) (maybe I was breathing gasoline fumes for too long?)
Great coverage steve, thanks. Good to see the Kennedy launch pad at NASA in use again! [Hopefully NASA continues to fumble around its central purpose as america's Muslim-outreach public relations program that will one day bring our competing civilizations together through space travel in the fantastical world. At least we'll still have Space X to focus on actual rocket science and space penetration in the real world!]
Missile to the Moon is another epic amazon story. but hey, it's got "The International Beauty Contest Winners" in it. I love this movie.
^And that's clearly where they got some bits for Amazon Women on the Moon from! I'm going to have to check it out! (BTW, if you haven't seen Movie 43, it's in a similar vein to AWotM, with the added bonus of being able to see Kate Winslet getting "tea bagged" by Hugh Jackman.)
I'll check out Movie 43. MttM is worth watching. It was the butt of a MST3K type captioning on another board. I'm not nearly as clever as RobP. Netflix had the DVD last time I checked.

Elon's self congratulatory pat on the back was awkward. He was at a loss for words and ran off camera.
SpaceX tests it's Falcon Heavy rocket. https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/05/spacex-releases-video-of-falcon-heavy-core-test-firing/
Almost missed it (me, not Elon). To heavy, too high, to keep the option of landing it. So it goes. 2nd burn of 2nd stage in about 15... ... final 2nd stage burn and separation. Nope nothing to see here.
Used Dragon (capsule) launch today. Action at 5:55PM EDT (21:55GMT) WATCH LIVE: DRAGON RESUPPLY MISSION (CRS-11) SpaceX is targeting launch of its eleventh Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-11) today, June 1, 2017, from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Today's launch has an instantaneous launch window at 5:55 p.m. EDT or 21:55 UTC, with a backup launch opportunity on Saturday, June 3 at 5:07 p.m. EDT or 21:07 UTC.Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage about 10 minutes after liftoff and attach to the International Space Station on June 4. The CRS-11 mission is the first reflight of the Dragon spacecraft and marks the 100th launch from historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. Following stage separation, the first stage of Falcon 9 will attempt to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. For more information, visit www.spacex.com. Edit: launch scrubbed due to weather (thunderstorms). Next launch window is Saturday 3 June 5:07PM EDT...
another perfect landing of the booster. Slightly used Dragon on the way to ISS. more Fantastic video from the the cape. Interesting sound effects too... Fun starts around 29minutes (unless they edit this again). Nice video near the end, of solar array deployment on the Dragon. I wanna be a spaceman.
SpaceX to launch sooper-seckret military craft. SpaceX might launch "the big one," in a couple of months.
And they pulled off the double header: SpaceX has successfully launched and landed the second Falcon 9 rocket in roughly 48 hours — giving SpaceX two wins in its “weekend doubleheader.” The nearly back-to-back launches are a show of strength for the company that has said it intends to up the pace of its launches.
