Todays excitement:
There’s a rocket launch scheduled from Vandenberg Space Force Base tonight, and I’m “only” ~3hrs drive away.

Let’s hope the bastard doesn’t scrub!

@mattgrayyes is it the falcon heavy? do you know if the cores will return to landing site?

@mattgrayyes Here’s my best shot from around two hundred kilometers away!

@mattgrayyes If it launches on time (pretty likely, in my humble opinion) it’ll be be a spectacle, with the exhaust plume lit up after sunset.

Sadly this one won’t be landing back at the pad — but the launch is going to be plenty exciting!

@mattgrayyes Good luck, I hope you get to watch it!

I have booked a room in a motel to save driving back late.
From films and stuff I thought that was only allowed if you were on the run, divorced, or otherwise up schitt’s creek.
Apparently not!

@mattgrayyes yes! I got to see one back in 2020, it's amazing.
Do you know where you're watching from?
Police were pushing people off Renwick Ave when we went, so we went to Ken Adam Park and it was great!

@mattgrayyes Mulder and Scully were always in Motels. So it’s also Ok if you’re investigating Federal Crimes, or using them as a loose excuse to do something you really want to do but do it on expenses.

@mattgrayyes I've stayed in motels in Barstow, California. Pretty much the only reason you'd be staying in Barstow is before/after desert camping or offroading trips.

I remember a motel where you had to provide your own shampoo, but they provided free trail mix and Emergen-C packets. They know their audience.

@foo I can’t stop there. It’s bat country.

@mattgrayyes is this a "burn your clothes after leaving" situation?
