Cool! - bttt - thanks for posting.
I watched the Space Station fly-by earlier this evening.
7 minute duration. Looked bigger than I thought it’d be 250 miles up.
Very exciting. Hope I can stay awake. The baby raccoons that just ate peanuts outside the window are volunteering to let me keep feeding them till then. Always helpful little things.
Woke up in time. Essentially it’s just been a mobility test of the space suits. They pulled the door into the capsule, then let themselves float up until their bodies were halfway out, then did small exercises with their arms and gloves on the metal bars surrounding the opening.
The video starts and stops depending on the signal reaching each repeating station. Most exciting was watching the earth appearing at the beginning of the exit and disappearing into blackness as the EVA progressed.
This sounds like SpaceX is being targeted by regulators and delayed until in November (the elections?) for the next launch.

The immediate headline is that the Starship launch is likely delayed until November at the earliest due to the FAA continually dragging it out.
The long term outlook however is much more dire.
SpaceX is being unfairly blocked by bad actors and detractors.
This IS a problem. This IS going to impact our return to the moon, journey to Mars, and overall competitiveness as a nation.
The first nation with a company (SpaceX) to make private, commercial spaceflight a thing, may I add.
I hope you share this video, SpaceX has put together a very compelling argument.
