Here's How You Can Watch Tomorrow's SpaceX Launch



 SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Dragon will launch from Florida in the early hours of the morning. The mission's aim: to resupply the ISS with vital goods.

 

The latest SpaceX launch, the CRS - 23 Mission, takes place tomorrow, and many will be looking for a way to watch it. This will be the latest SpaceX mission with the aerospace company launching over twenty rockets this year. Its previous launch on June 30 saw the Falcon 9 rocket deliver several satellites as its payload into orbit with the Dragon spacecraft, which has supported previous commercial resupply missions.

The CRS - 23 mission will be the twenty-third resupply mission to the International Space Station. Falcon 9 will launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Dragon spacecraft will then separate from the Falcon 9 and guide itself towards the ISS twelve minutes after liftoff. The Falcon 9 will use cold gas and deploy drag fins to perform its famous vertical flip to land upright on the autonomous drone ship somewhere in the Atlantic ocean.

Best set an alarm, as the launch will be taking place at 3:37 AM EDT/ 7:37 AM UTC Saturday, August 28th. Should the weather be an issue or there are other reasons to delay the launch, a backup launch is set for Sunday, August 29 at 3:14 AM EDT / 7:14 AM UTC. To watch the launch live you can view a live stream on SpaceX's website. The company will also be live streaming the launch on its YouTube and Instagram pages. The live stream will begin at 3:22 AM EDT / 7:22 AM UTC, fifteen minutes before the launch.

Tomorrow's Launch Second By Second



Thirty-eight minutes before the launch, the SpaceX Launch Director will verify the propellant load. After this, the kerosene and liquid oxygen will begin loading into the space crafts. In the last ten minutes before launch, after the live stream has begun, the Falcon 9 will begin its pre-launch engine chill followed by the Dragon transitioning to internal power. In the final sixty seconds, the final pre-launch checks will be made, with the propellant tanks pressurized for flight. If everything checks out, the SpaceX Launch Director will then verify the go for launch. This will be followed by liftoff. Shortly after that event, the Falcon 9 will separate from the Dragon.

Launches such as the CRS-23 mission are important to keep the International Space Station stocked up with vital supplies such as food and medicine. Should the mission be successful, there's no reason why SpaceX can't continue carrying out launch operations in the future, though much to the chagrin of Blue Origin. Hopefully, CRS-23 goes off without a hitch.

Best Movies and TV About Games

 #Entertainment Big blockbuster movies and TV shows are often accompanied by large licensing deals that result in huge amounts of merchandise produced for them. Star Wars was the film that helped to start this trend and it remains one of the best examples today. Not only do Star Wars fans have the opportunity to buy figurines of their favorite characters, but they can also purchase video games that can then be played on their consoles, computers, and smartphones. There are, in fact, about as many games as there are Star Wars movies and television shows, with recent additions to the franchise including LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. However, we also see this happen in reverse, with movies made about games. So far, the success of these films has been patchy, with some being big flops. One of these was Super Mario Bros. (1993), a live-action comedy film that was a very distant departure from what ga...
