This is a link post TONIGHT: SpaceX launch, 9:30 PM ish, live stream
Edit: Docking on 4 April, NASA

This is the launch of a Falcon 9 / Dragon rocket, which will dock with the International Space Station. The launch is scheduled for 9:30 PM UK time, today, 2nd April (20:30 UTC)

During the first 10 minutes, you'll see the first and second stages detach, and then the solar array will open. Unless it all blows up,of course, or if there's bad weather.

It should dock with the ISS on Wednesday April 4th, and stay attached for about a month.

This is a normal post Hehehe,
You think Elon Musk is trying to compensate for something? :-)

It has about 1,700,000lb of thrust, so that'd be quite a pounding! And it goes at about 17,000 miles an hour.

This is a normal post Yeah, and it missed you too.
The Chinese space station Tiangong crashed in the South Pacific, somewhere near Tahiti, around lunch-time today edit 00:15 GMT on Monday. Most of it probably burned up on entry, there may have been a couple of tons that got through.

*Edited to fix the time, see below

"It re-entered the atmosphere around 00:15 GMT on Monday, China's Manned Space Engineering Office said."

This is a normal post Oops, sorry,
My bad. I'd misremembered it as 12:15 GMT, not 0:15.

So, it was quarter-past Sunday.

I got to watch an F9 night launch from KSC last month. Pretty spectacular.

If you're in Florida for a holiday this year, check the launch schedule. (https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/) because they're running at about one a week at the moment.
