From #FloridaToday ... #SpaceX to attempt launching two rockets from #SpaceCoast within minutes of one another on Friday December 16. Launches from #NASA KSC Pad 39A and #SpaceForce Cape Pad 40.
I was once offered a job at #SpaceX. They wanted me to take a 25% cut in wages from my current job and changed the working conditions we'd discussed. I passed. All those who interviewed me were gone within a year.

The Japanese company iSpace will launch a commercial lunar lander tonight from #SpaceCoast on a #SpaceX Falcon 9. Also along for the ride is a #NASA cubesat. Here's a look at the vehicle and payload.
Here on the #SpaceCoast, we have a #SpaceX Falcon 9 launch scheduled for tonight at 3:39 AM EST/12:39 AM PST. It's coming back to land at the Cape around eight minutes later, which will create twin sonic booms.
The payload is a commercial lunar lander for iSpace, along with a #NASA cubesat.

Elsewhere in space ... #SpaceX has a launch scheduled for tonight from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The payload is a Eutelsat communications satellite. The launch window is 9:52 - 10:02 PM EST. The weather forecast is only 30% favorable, but if you want to give it a try this will be the YouTube link.
Elsewhere in #NASA ... The agency relies on two companies to provide robotic cargo deliveries to the #ISS, #SpaceX and #NorthropGrumman.
The latter's #Cygnus craft last night from Wallops but one of its solar panels failed to deploy. The NASA statement:
"Northrop Grumman has reported to NASA that Cygnus has sufficient power to rendezvous with the [ISS] ... NASA is assessing this and the configuration required for capture and berthing."
