NASA's events and live link can be found here.
They sometimes change their launch dates and times, due to weather or other incidentals, so stay tuned if you're interested in watching launches or learning all things NASA. Events like these are helpful for some of us who are isolating in place, disabled with mobility problems, bedbound or homebound, bored, anxious, etc. I tend to use online activities as ways to remain connected to others with similar interests and to keep my brain active. This also helps me distract when I'm having a stressful day. There were other threads started with specific dates, but then NASA kept changing those dates. So I decided to just start a generic thread here to keep up with NASA's changes. The link provided above is the primary site where you could watch NASA live as well as see their schedule. If you'd like to add any comments here, please feel free to do so! |

Takeoff went fast! They're still showing the Crew 3! Totally cool! We haven't seen this since the 1980s.

Hi @SprinkL3👋👋
Some very interesting space posts you have here. Cool.👍 You might know more about this than me (I haven't fully looked into it yet) but I think NASA will soon be launching a mission (unmanned) to an asteroid to see if they can change its path, its trajectory. Which is actually super important really, because asteroids do in fact pose a very real threat to the planet should a big one impact the Earth. And they do every so often. 🤔 __________________ "A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."- Dōgen

I usually get emails from the NASA website, but I forgot that they have other events coming up. I should try to post them here. I realized just now that I don't get all the emails - just certain ones. My apologies if I missed posting an event. I watched the last one. I want to see the landing of the previous one, but I think I missed it. I just realized that they are naming each crew in succession - so Crew 3 was the one that I announced, but I think Crew 2 returned to Earth already. I always wondered about asteroids and its potential dangers to Earth. Thank you for replying here and for the info! |

My inner children loved it. Especially since the last time we ever watched NASA take off was in the 1980s, when the shuttle exploded with the teacher on it. That was quite traumatic. I think parts of me was scared that was going to happen again, so it was a huge deal to be able to get through this next showing. I missed all the other takeoffs from the years between the 1980s and Crew 3. I'm glad Crew 3 made it (as well as the many other missions that were after the 1980s but before Crew 3). |
