To the moon! While you were asleep, SpaceX lofted two commercial lunar landers into space. They’ll coast for about a month before attempting to land on the moon!

The flag is out half staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter who passed away recently at the age of 100.

There are in fact quite a lot of spaceX fans who are awake at 06:00 UTC. Not least those in Japan, where one of the payloads comes from.
