Well after the launch got cancelled the other day it is back on for today at 3:22est! Not sure they will get to blast off today but there is another time scheduled for tomorrow.
I don't know if this is really a TV Show but I have it on a couple of channels... Discovery and some updates on the Weather Channel (who are also talking about whether the rain/storms will cancel again today.

hasn't been on the news channels yet, because they've been covering the protests/riots. I'm sure CNN will pick it up soon.

I was hooked to tv for first try. Today, I will wait until an hour before. Lol. I am watching it on the NASA app which was easily downloaded on my Roku. Haven’t tried other smart tv, etc but I would bet it’s there as well

Well it seems to have worked perfectly!!!
For anyone watching CNN, their coverage was terrible. I don't know what happened but they somehow missed the actual launch. They didn't show it when it happened!
Plus I sure didn't need to see the split screen with Trump watching or hear that Trump said it was a go. Like he decides that?!?!?

Amazing to see all three stages landed upright.

That is impressive. If only CNN had showed it. I won't be watching CNN again for any event like this.

I posted this in News and Views as well but for anyone who missed parts of the launch... there is a documentary on the Disney Plus app called Mars Inside SpaceX about the Falcon rocket program. It concludes with absolutely stunning film of the rockets taking off and landing back on the pad. I watched the last ten minutes about 6 times in a row when I first found it. Lol

OMG, Jimmer, I can't believe CNN missed it. It was fabulous, I so enjoyed seeing a great accomplishment.
I also found it on CSPAN, quite a few different channels were covering it down here.
Yes, the Pres was an unwelcome pop up.

It was bizarre. They seemed to be about thirty seconds behind, then the launch happened, they didn't show it and then the next thing they showed was it up in the air. They literally missed showing the first thirty seconds of the launch.

Yes it was on Fox and they also showed the President's great comments. It is wonderful to have action in the space world for USA. It has been too long.

I watched Discovery the whole time and they gave excellent coverage and lots of interesting facts about this launch.

Discovery too. I was thrilled when the booster did a textbook landing on the floating landing pad in the ocean. What a feat.

Sorry, my previous post was about final approach and then site maintenance kicked in and I couldn’t correct. Hope you all got to watch it!! Such a Juxtaposition from what’s happening down here. Few minutes of relief.

FYI. They have opened the first hatch and are working their way forward. I believe it’s about an hour until final hatch opening on the ISS end.

Watched it on MSNBC and it was enjoyable to hear commentary from retired astronauts as to what was different in the cockpit. Thank God for scientists!
