With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.
Shitty, shitty potato quality iphone pictures, but caught this rocket launch tonight while I was driving home. This was a Firefly Alpha rocket launched out of Vandenberg.
What absolutely kills me is that I had my full camera rig in the car. I had driven out earlier in the evening, aiming to go set up at the Pinnacles to do some astrophotography tonight. Unfortunately, the hurricane floods trashed the trail to Pinnacles and so I had to turn back.
And I am in absolute mourning for what could have been. If I'd been able to get there, I would have had the perfect shot. A clear sky and the early stages of the Milky Way, with this rocket launch arching behind the incredible rock formations at Pinnacles.
It would have been killer. And instead I ended up with these crap phone photos shot out the window of my Jeep while driving back into town. Sigh.
