I have browsed the current “front page” and used the search function repeatedly. I can’t find any threads about tonight’s (tomorrow morning’s 2-14-2024) SpaceX launch of the a lunar lander. I am _positive_ this Board is discussing this and I tried to find it but I’m sure it’s hiding right in front of my face. Any help? ---

There is the omnibus MPSIMS thread about space exploration, which is where SpaceX’s endeavors usually get discussed. > [@The Great Ongoing Space Exploration Thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-ongoing-space-exploration-thread/925703/1188): > > Ouch. In a sentence: First we get Starship going at full cadence. Then more miracles occur. Then space-solar-to-earth electricity still costs 20-50x as much as terrestrial green generation. There’s also a dedicated Starship thread. > [@Will Musk's starship reach orbit this year?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-musks-starship-reach-orbit-this-year/967583/721): > > Come again?

Thank you, I looked in both of those and no one is talking about this. Weird. Yes, I could bring it up but my interest is fairly much in passing. I would just as soon leave it to the aerospace doodz. ---

This is definitely not a SpaceX mission. SpaceX F9 is the booster. Some other provider heads to the moon and does stuff. If you want to talk about this mission in some thread, fine. Do so. If you want to demand the rest of us discuss it, well no. Also, [it didn’t launch.](https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/private-us-moon-lander-set-launch-half-century-after-last-apollo-lunar-mission-2024-02-14/) ---

Mods: you can close this thread as the launch was canceled. Thanks ---
