Tracking SXM-8 Live Stream!

Last weekend SpaceX launched a new Sirius XM satellite, SXM-8, into a geostationary transfer orbit. It's gradually raising its orbit and tonight I plan to track it with my telescope. It'll only be visible shortly around twilight before it gets too low in the sky, but the Falcon 9 second stage that put it into orbit will be visible for longer. The stream will start around 9:45 pm eastern.

It's still in the process of raising its orbit. It's unlikely that my timing will be right, but it would be cool to catch it firing some thrusters. As a bonus, some tards insist the rocket splashed down in the ocean and didn't put anything in orbit. If that's the case, I shouldn't see anything tonight.

Cool, but Sirius/XM is garbage. The whole point was to pay for AD free radio. Guess what they have now... AD's. Sirius/XM customers are retarded IMHO.

SIRIUSLY?

Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.

I'm just a product of insufficient modality.

Humans of Earth! I have come in peace. You need not fear me. I mean you no harm. However, it may be important to know that most of you will not survive the next 24 hours. And those of you who do survive will be enslaved and experimented on. You should in no way take any of this personally — it's just business!
