Space X Launch in 2 hours, flying over Ireland

sheepsh4gger

It's going to be a huge explosion. If it's aborted the astronauts might end up in Shannon.

All the information is wrong here. Its launching at 8.30pm tonight not 2 hrs.

Do you have tonights lotto numbers if you can predict an explosion.

West coast of ireland is one of many recovery zones depending on the time they abort, if its needed.

So is this like the other day, where we might see it near the moon?

Kermit.de.frog

Might put a sly bet on another scrubbed launch judging by the weather forecast unfortunately.

its unlikely its going to be too bright at 8.40 to see it sadly.

And the “Ireland abort window” only lasts for 15 Seconds.

Thread title is misleading and wrong. Launch window is 15:22 EDT. It is 10:34 EDT now

I can't believe they can find people to volunteer for this stuff. Fair play to them. You wouldn't catch me on a tincan set ontop of half a million litres of propellant.

RobbingBandit

They ain't volunteers they're getting paid

Bruh they are paid bank and would you not go to space? I’d go to space.

I’d be very nervous about the prototype that blew up the other day though lol

Might put a bet on the launch being postponed on the grounds that America burns tonight.

Of course. But it’s still something you’ll think about at t-minus 10

How did we do it without space?

Waste of time, fuel and money. Just another step to Elon cluttering near space with hundreds of his satellites and space junk. Not content with covering the planet in sh1t we are now filling space with it.

Or we could be guaranteeing our survival as a species.

Imagine our first ancestors pondering leaving Africa for the first time thought:
"Stupid Fred Flintstone always wanting to take another step with his boats and his wheel. Not content with covering the continent in his rubbish"

Bit late to the party, earth is already cluttered with space junk.

Maybe Elon could create something to help clear some of it up?

Launch at 8.22pm Irish time, but what time would it be visible in Ireland?

Minutes afterward if at all. By that point they will he miles up.

Muahahaha

Is it likely to be visible at all with it being so bright? Or will you be able to see it burning fuel

Muahahaha

Tbh i doubt it. I pretty much gave up astronomy because any time there was an exciting event it was cloudy over Ireland.

There's a certain irony that this time there won't be a cloud in the sky but still won't see anything.

According to this site: https://www.meteorwatch.org/crew-dragon-watch-the-launch-then-see-it-fly-over-uk/#more-9006

Unlike the earlier scrubbed launch on Wednesday, you won’t see the craft over the UK 15 – 20 minutes later, but you may be able to see it pass over the UK/ Europe around 22:15 UK time the same evening. Please see spotting info further down this page

Do we look towards the moon?

the fuel costs nothing, it's a misconception
Imagine Eircom going out of business because of Starlink - no more trash ISPs

when it bursts into flames
It will either explode on the launchpad or in air.
I hope it will hit Cork or Dublin, those places deserve to be nuked.
With an ICBM the kinetic energy is enough, there's no need to add a bomb.

I was sure the weather would call a halt to proceedings this evening, but it looks like we're good to go.

I'd say there will never be a space program here like they had on Isle of White, you will drink all the ethanol.:pac:

Make your bets now. I say it will be a huge explosion.

Ignoring the stupidity of the premise of your post, the science doesn't make sense either.

By the time it reaches an arc high enough to hit Ireland it'll have used up the vast majority of its fuel (and the first and probably second stages carrying most of it's weight will have dropped off) so won't have much force to explode. Then if it does explode it's not really an ICBM anymore it's just a large number of metal chunks, which would likely burn up on reentry. Any bits that did survive would certainly not carry enough energy to do the damage you describe.
