Looks like the weather is fine at the launch site and out to see...just in case you want to watch a launch in the daytime....

LOL, they can’t get the onboard cameras, so they had to present the “Rocket Girl”...:)

Nice! Video quality went to pot, but... Still better than the old Magnavox black-and-white I had during the Apollo Program.

I think it might be but most of the recent launches have been in the middle of the night, so it’s hard to see what is actually happening..

That stage one landing was awesome, got two views, one from stage one and the other from the landing ship....

I try to watch them, but don’t recall ever having seen the view from the top of the booster looking down as it lands, with the shadow appearing and everything!

I really liked that.

I am amazed at how they are landing the different stages on drone ships! Just, wow!

Not sure, we get NASA TV on Directv but they don’t usually carry the SpaceX launches unless NASA has a role in them...
