Official Space Thread

I have. A lot. I’m a big fan of Frontier Games (not so much of thier DLC pricing model though!) and was an early Elite backer way back in 2014. Put many hours into it in the months before and after the game came to Steam.

Pretty muchthe same eh, been playing on and off for 6 years now. I love exploring in Elite. Checking out space first hand and especially exploring planets and nebulae is just awe inspiring.

Wow, I’ve got a screw loose today. I swore it was the 18th today, and I kept refreshing the video only to see the “live in 30 minutes” wasn’t counting down. After 20 minutes of checking, I noticed it was 30 hours, and it’s the 17th today…

I’m watching the NSF stream, they a bit more fun and have more info throughout. I do switch back to the NASA stream every now and then to check in.
