Everything looks good so far. 30 miles up at this post. About to start the trans-mars injection burn. I've got telescope time in Australia scheduled to capture the probe outbound from earth in a bit if the weather allows. Oh, how cool! Thanks, Astro! I hope the weather permits! It's clear at the moment and the observatory is open, we've got 5 hours until my scheduled time starts, but I may hop on early to acquire additional images. I'll set my alarm. I need to take a nap. Stupid medication. I'm not panicking, but I'm too tired to care if I was! Eireann~ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20 |

User ID: 73050092 Ireland05/05/2018 02:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Woohoo! I caught InSight and the upper stage centaur departing earth. I even caught sight of a small fuel dump by the centaur upper stage and a faint cloud around InSight, probably from thruster firings by the probe. Quoting: The Deplorable Astromut Yay! Now we just have to wait 6 mos and it will be landing on Mars. Hope it has an uneventful trip there!
