Falcon Heavy tries again at 6:36 pm EDT, and Beresheet [tries to land] faceplants on the Moon at 3:05 pm EDT. Nice try, guys. You got to lunar orbit, and got one good picture.
More about the latter is here. Live Beresheet coverage video found here. (Video dropping out frequently and needs reloading…direct to YouTube might work better, below)
The video feed links from my post yesterday are still functional for today. For a live chat update stream on NASASpaceFlight(dot)com, go here.

Thanks for the update, was there a time change today? I had about 3 hours later written down.
I haven’t heard. The FH launch window is determined by orbital requirements, and last I heard today is a repeat of yesterday. If they miss again, I think they have to stand down for awhile to defuel or something.
Beresheet tries to land shortly, though, aiming at 12:05 PDT.
Thanks, watching
Ouch, hope the get back on the horse and try again soon.
They will. As Musk is wont to say, “Space is hard.”
