Hello to all the Steemians and space fanatics out there. Maybe some of you know (Maybe you don't) but in the wee hours of the morning SpaceX launched another rocket off this spinning rock that we call Earth. SES-12 took off and was another success for the SpaceX program.
Its cargo, another communications satellite to bring internet acess to southeast Asia/Asia Pacific region. This brings the total to 11 missions that have blasted off this year alone. In case you missed it here's some info and the launch:
I love the fact that the microphone that was used was picking up the cricket call until take off.
Maybe it's because I'm a product of the 70's generation but I am thrilled and amazed at how much progress we've accomplished in the space exploration & science aspects of human history. I'd never thought I would see this so frequently occurring in my lifetime.
Here's a link that shows the intinerary of all rockets to be launched this year from various countries. https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/
In case you are interested in the ever ridiculous theory that the Earth is flat I've found a video that may clear up the debate.
My input on the flat earth theory is simple. If by using a telescope we can see other planets and they are spherical in shape, why wouldn't the Earth be spherical as well? Even better, why haven't we found a planet that is flat?
