The reason I didn’t do any live posting about the Starship launch is I was frantically working on this. Here's my take on the launch (including video from the launch and flight because WOW SpaceX put on a good show here)

I forgot to pack my kid's water bottle for school, had to run it over there, but I AM BACK NOW.

13 minutes to launch. They're watching the weather.

Just got the email confirmation from SpaceX -- Starship's third test launch is set for tomorrow morning. Checked with the FAA, and yep, there's the launch license:

Reviewing the NASA budget proposal (all 800+ pages of it) and found this gem: “NASA is reviewing the results of the feasibility study performed with SpaceX and assessing potential next steps to boost the orbit and possibly enhance Hubble using private funding.”

So the Polaris Dawn boost is still on the table.

And if you want to READ about the Hubble tension, and JWST's confirmation of Hubble's findings, rather than watch a video, the post is now up: https://www.adastraspace.com/p/hubble-tension

Have you heard recently about discrepancies in the Hubble constant and are wondering what’s up?

I dive into the Hubble tension in my latest video.
