SpaceX is targeting Wednesday June 3 at 9:25 p.m. EDT, 1:25 UTC on June 4, for its eighth launch of Starlink satellites. Falcon 9 will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. A backup opportunity is available on Thursday, June 4 at 9:03 p.m. EDT, 1:03 UTC on June 5.
Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018, the Iridium-8 mission in January 2019, and two separate Starlink missions in May 2019 and in January 2020. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Starlink satellites will deploy in an elliptical orbit approximately 15 minutes after liftoff. Prior to orbit raise, SpaceX engineers will conduct data reviews to ensure all Starlink satellites are operating as intended. Once the checkouts are complete, the satellites will then use their onboard ion thrusters to move into their intended orbits and operational altitude of 550 km.
Rocket science. A term we all use to describe something incredibly difficult. Trying to grasp all of the concepts involved in rocket science can be incredibly intimidating...
From SpaceX and Tesla, to his own school (Ad Astra), Elon Musk is developing companies and ideas that look to bring humanity forward. This mini documentary video takes a look at a number of Elon Musk’s projects and ideas. And tries to envision what the city of the future looks like. Such as how self driving electric cars will allow for smaller tunnels. Making way for The Boring Company to look at developing a mega network of underground tunnels.
• How the future of self driving cars and transportation (Tesla Semi) will affect our daily lives and jobs (Universal Income)
• How all of humanity can go renewable with 100 Tesla Gigafactories
• If SpaceX can make space rockets as reusable as airplanes, we can fly people from 1 side of the world to the other in under an hour (Starship)
• Or how a better form of transportation would be the Hyperloop
• How Elon Musk’s brother, Kimball Musk, is developing vertical farming in cities using shipping containers, and the tech could be used in colonizing Mars
• There being a global internet provided by a constellation of satellites (SpaceX Starlink)
• And how in the future, you won’t be able to tell the difference between video games and reality (and asking if we are in a simulation)
• And that we need to keep up with artificial intelligence by hooking up our brains to a computer (Neuralink) Videos Mentioned in the Video
