I never saw the dragon, don't think it was ever bright enough, but SpaceX sent up another batch of 60 starlink satellites that went over last night, worth a look soon before they disperse. Not my image, but over the UK, they are a bit faint for my cameras, and I don't have a satellite tracker to avoid motion blur. More impressive in reality when you can see the whole cloud of 60, binoculars are a good idea to see them well:NASA / SpaceX launch humans from US soil in 3.5 hours, personally i am not going to miss this.
This is a new set that have gone up, the last set have dispersed towards their operational positions, the new ones are still in a train.Yeah my friend saw them a few weeks ago when they passed over Denmark or rather south of Denmark.
Sadly that direction are blocked by trees at his place otherwise i would have told him to aim one of his CCTV cameras in that direction to film it.
I know they can de-orbit them if / when a satellite fail, but what about putting up a replacement for it ? will be too expensive to do a launch for just 1 satellite.
I'd say something snarky about his hair, but at least he seems to still have plenty...
