I've been following the ISS on a skyview app on my phone so that I will know when it's going to appear over my back fence . That thing can shift in the sky ! If you miss it , it's back around the planet in about 90 mins !

Launch should be around 2018 hours. The crew have just arrived at the capsule.

The weather is very hot but again the chance of rain and thunder.

It's raining near the launch pad, 50/50 chance.

They can have a kip now. Amazing picture and thought that it would have been difficult in the past to quickly intervene if necessary .

Some strange comments by presenters about them going on flights to other planets. I can't get in to Wickes.

Watching footage of the launch makes yo feel how insignificant we are. The world is an amazing place

I've just watched it, absolutely incredible...

What will all the flat earthers say about it all?

Saw ISS clearly despite it being a little light passing over from the west at about 22.10. Very bright here in the SW and passed just under the moon in the sky. Just needed a much better camera. Waited for the Dragon capsule, but no luck there. Disappointing the main media coverage is so thin relative to the significance of this accomplishment. The first stage went back and landed on the drone ship. Frickin awesome and truly groundbreaking yet all they can do is drone on about Dominic Cummings. Would be such a nice change to hear inspirational news properly covered for a change. Go Dragon crew
