At 1pm you're not going to see anything other than the moon or the sun and definitely not North East. The line of planets are all to the south.
 
Another Version 2 Starship dies prematurely. Except much earlier than the others as this one has exploded on the test stand in preparation for an engine static fire. At this point I will say that V2 ships are cursed and the faster they can get to V3 the better...

If V3 follows the trend that V1 and V2 have set then they'll be self-destructing on the factory floor.

Edit: I shouldn't be mean, I know this stuff is harder than it looks and I kinda feel sorry for the engineers. At some point you can only learn stuff by sticking it on a pad and seeing what happens. It is kinda funny though.

This is pretty cool:

While not confirmation of life on Mars, it's definitely adding to the idea that there was life on Mars at one time.
 
This finding by Perseverance, launched under President Trump in his first term, is the closest we have ever come to discovering life on Mars. The identification of a potential biosignature on the Red Planet is a groundbreaking discovery, and one that will advance our understanding of Mars,” said acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy."

I like how he's (Sean Duffy) is trying to frame this as a Trump achievement when it was concieved and green-lit when Obama was president. Not that presidents have much to do with these things other than potentially cancelling projects.

Hey, if stroking Trump is what it takes to maintain NASA, then they probably need to stroke away.

But ya, nothing about Perseverance is Trump's achievement.
