I would recommend using the Nasa link posted above, since it's on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOI35G7cP7o

> the Nasa link *NASASpaceflight NASASpaceflight.com (and their Youtube channel) has no affiliation with NASA.

All these years I thought it was an official channel. When I first saw their logo it also reminded me of National Science Foundation that just cemented my (now corrected) belief.

@dang: can you please fix the link? It's supposed to be https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1dRKZEWQvrXxB

I recreated a thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38318763

But it is marked as dupe (HN seems to have already queried it and classified as broken link)

1 PM UTC, for those looking for the one universal time reference.

Providing Central European Time but not UTC/GMT is really weird

Exactly my thought.

But the real issue is why don't have browsers an integrated way of doing these computations by reading some HTML tags and also providing input widgets to make sure that it is universally readable by machines. Like (if the event's timezone is Europe/Amsterdam, only for informational purposes)

Maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGg (NASASpaceflight) would be better, as it's accessible without any login-wall and doesn't require creating an account to view.

PM? Part milliliter?

Milli- is "m" and "M" is mega-. You'll be off by 9 orders of magnitude if you confuse the two.

But keyboard wise, it's just holding down shift vs not holding down shift when typing. The difference in real life between m and M is less than you think :)

If you want to watch it on your iPhone in PIP, open the link in a browser like Firefox Focus and you can continue to read HN. :)

That’s third-party/unofficial (and unaffiliated with NASA, despite the name) coverage. AFAIK they do not have access to all the cameras/drones/animations that the “real” SpaceX coverage does.

The SpaceX website also includes a live stream but it seems to be broadcast via Twitter: https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-... Edit: this stream works without having to login to Twitter

Does it requieres a X(exTwitter) account? I'm going to miss it. :(

I am watching without a Xitter account:
