Hopefully the before and after picture is the right way up...

Top stuff mate.

Good work. Perhaps you might introduce some grass to your lawn for your next project?

We had to get the edging done first and have the grass seed to complete the job from now. That edge was a bit of a mess and we're on the way to finishing it...

With the summer we're expecting, I'd leave the lawn until September if I were you.

The SpaceX launch in about 2 hours. First manned launch to the ISS from US soil since 2011.

We might get to see it going across the sky from West to South just after 21:33. Assuming it doesn't abort. There's some dodgy looking weather around Florida at the minute.


The best thing is seeing the rocket boosters come back down and land back on the pad, all on their own. It really is sci-fi live in front of us stuff.

If it gets off the ground then will go out at the relevant time - not sure what view I will have as the garden faces south west & the light hasn't fully gone by then

It's about 20-25 mins after launch apparently (21:53-58), and In the SW direction, so you should be well set.

I think it might be a bit late. That is one serious storm barrelling into Cape Canaveral

 

[The Bear]

They can't delay though, it's all or nothing. The ISS is moving incredibly fast so they only have one chance for launch in order to catch it just right. It's go or abort.

As Trump has flown in I guess it is on no matter what then

 

[The Bear]

Re the weather, this is what it looked like at 7pm!

Thankfully he gets no say in what goes on. He's just a spectator like the rest of us.

Lovely weather in Florida! That cloud formation belongs in tornado alley rather than the hurricane belt.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Looks like two minutes to a weather report where they will make a call on go or no go

 

[The Bear]

Doesn't sound too good.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Its going to be scrubbed isn't it

 

[The Bear]

And aborted.

Boooo.

 

[The Bear]

Oh well try again on Saturday.

Another three days (well four until docking) for the poor bloke currently all alone on the ISS.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh well. Better do the washing up then

 

[The Bear]

And I think it's about an hour earlier launch time so we won't be able to see it in the sky.
