Another launch.....about an hour and 20 minutes away.Weather is perfect right now so hopefully she goes...

A Falcon 9 rocket will launch a SpaceX Dragon spaceship on a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff is scheduled for 8:28 p.m. EST (0128 UTC). The Falcon 9’s first stage booster will return to land at Cape Canaveral about seven and a half minutes after launch. This will be SpaceX's 29th space station cargo delivery mission for NASA.

Thirty. Three. Raptors.

Booster 9 and her Raptor engines in their glory this morning - the first time all 33 were successfully ignited with continuous burn through first stage flight, creating the world’s largest shock diamond.

Even with the naked eye here on a clear night you can see all the gasses coming out when the stage separates.....it's really so remarkable it never gets old.....

I love this but I cannot faithfully express my jealousy - on multiple levels.

The NASA James Webb Space Telescope image also shows two bright infrared sources in the upper part of the frame, which are thought to be two more protostars.

A NASA spacecraft, recently returned from a mission to asteroid Bennu, has been relaunched to study another asteroid as it approaches Earth’s orbit: Apophis, named after the Egyptian god of Chaos. The space rock is expected to pass within 32,000 kilometres of the Earth's surface on April 13, 2029.

New data confirm Earth is safe from #asteroid Apophis for next 100+ years. Apophis was previously identified as one of the most potentially hazardous asteroids, but new radar observations have ruled that out. Just another day for @NASA #PlanetaryDefense! https://t.co/RMhuLQyHrZ pic.twitter.com/Q5A0RAfFUY
