CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Valentine’s Day could be full of fireworks this year as both SpaceX and Russia’s space agency Roscosmos are working towards a launch doubleheader tonight (Feb. 14).
The California-based SpaceX is set to send a full stack of Starlink satellites into space, while Russia and NASA are teaming up to launch a cargo ship to the International Space Station. You can watch the action live online.
SpaceX will kick off the festivities as one of its Falcon 9 rockets is scheduled to lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11:21 a.m. EST (0421 GMT on Feb. 15), followed by a Soyuz 2.1a rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. That Russian launch will carry the Progress MS-16 spacecraft, also known as Progress 77, to the space station at 11:45 p.m. EDT (0445 GMT on Feb. 15).
You can watch both launches live here and on the Space.com homepage, courtesy of SpaceX and NASA, beginning with SpaceX, which will host a launch webcast about 15 minutes before liftoff. You can also watch the Starlink launch directly via SpaceX. The Progress 77 launch will also be broadcast by NASA, with NASA’s webcast beginning at 11:15 p.m. EST (0415 GMT).

After a few recent delays and some mission swapping, SpaceX is back on the launch pad, preparing to send its next Starlink mission into space. That flight comes just 10 days after its last Starlink mission, and could be the first of two launches this week for the private spaceflight company.
SpaceX deployed its fleet of recovery ships a few days before launch, with its drone ship “Just Read the Instructions” set to catch this booster. If successful, the landing will mark the 75th recovery for SpaceX since the company landed its first booster in 2015.
Starring in today’s mission will be the booster known as B1059, set for its sixth flight. This first stage previously ferried two different SpaceX Dragon cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s CRS-19 and CRS-20 flights, a Starlink mission last June, an Earth-observing satellite for Argentina (SAOCOM-1B in August 2020), and a spy satellite for the U.S government as part of the NROL-108 mission in December. Sunday’s flight will mark the second Starlink payload this particular booster has carried.
If all goes as planned, approximately nine minutes after liftoff, B1059 is set to touchback down on the deck of the drone ship, capping off another successful mission.

SpaceX created its Starlink internet program with one major goal: to connect users around the globe and provide reliable and affordable internet service, in particular, those in remote and rural areas. To that end, SpaceX planned for its initial Starlink constellation to contain 1,440 of the flat-paneled internet beaming satellites. The company currently has permission to launch up to 30,000 Starlinks satellites, with plans to launch even more.
With more than 1,000 satellites already in orbit, SpaceX officially offered the service to the public this past week. Customers can order the necessary hardware and sign up via the company’s website, although there is a disclaimer that it is only open to a limited number of customers per service area.
The launch followed an extensive public and private beta-testing phase, called “Better than nothing,” which was recently extended to folks in the U.K.
SpaceX deployed its twin fairing catchers ahead of Sunday’s launch, and will be recovering them following splashdown. The fairing pieces (or the two halves of the protective “nose cone” on the rocket’s upper stage) are equipped with parachutes and navigation software that guides each piece to a designated recovery zone where they are either caught in mid air or scooped out of the water by the company’s two net-equipped boats — called GO Ms. Tree and GO Ms. Chief.
Those recovery efforts typically take place about 45 minutes after liftoff.
Currently, weather is 40% “go” for Sunday’s launch opportunity, with the main weather concern being the potential for storm clouds over the launch site. There is a backup launch opportunity on Monday night, if the need should arise.
The forecast on Monday improves to 60% favorable.

Less than 30 minutes after SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets hauls its payload into, across the globe, Russia’s Soyuz will be taking to the skies, to deliver more than 5,000 lbs. of supplies to the astronauts on the space station.
The Progress supply ship is bringing approximately 5,424 lbs. (2,460 kilograms) of cargo and supplies for the crew currently on board the station. That bounty includes 3,086 lbs. (1,400 kg) of research and crew supplies, along with fresh water, nitrogen gas and propellant for the station’s Zvezda service module propulsion system.
Following Sunday’s launch, it will arrive at the orbital outpost on Tuesday at 1:20 a.m. EST (0620 GMT), docking at the Pirs docking compartment.
It will remain attached to the station until July, when it will detach from the ISS (along with the Pirs), and perform a destructive reentry where both will burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere. This will allow Roscosmos to bring up a new module — the largest addition to the Russian side of the space station in twenty years.
Pirs currently serves as an airlock for Russian astronauts to use when conducting spacewalks and also as a docking port for visiting spacecraft. (There is another, similar port that will remain on station called Poisk.)

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Wednesday, to promote his new NBC series Young Rock. But it was actually Johnson’s mom, Ata Johnson, who stole the show.
After Fallon inquired about Johnson’s mom, her son invited her to share the screen and show off her musical talents. With a little help from Johnson, she played the ukulele and sang two songs.
Viewers enjoyed the performance and several took to Twitter to gush over Johnson’s adorable mom.
Fallon clearly enjoyed being serenaded, especially during the song which was basically about how much the Johnson family loved him.
Young Rock premieres Tuesday, Feb. 16th at 8 p.m. on NBC.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.

Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” whose host has trumpeted unfounded assertions of voter fraud in the 2020 election, has been canceled. Fox News Media said in a statement Friday the move was part of routine programming alterations that it had foreshadowed in an announcement last fall.
Fox News Media “regularly considers programming changes and plans have been in place to launch new formats as appropriate post-election, including on Fox Business — this is part of those planned changes,” the company said.
Whether the cancellation ends Dobbs’ career with Fox Business wasn’t addressed, and the company had no further comment. The former CNN host started his show at the channel in March 2011, and it became among the most-watched business news channel programs.

The statement appeared to distance the cancellation from a multibillion-dollar defamation lawsuit filed Thursday against Fox and three of its hosts, including Dobbs, by the election technology company Smartmatic. In a previous statement, Fox News said it would “vigorously defend against this meritless lawsuit in court.”
The replacement for “Lou Dobbs Tonight” will be announced soon, Fox News said. The show last aired on Friday, with a guest host sitting in for Dobbs, who had no immediate statement.
An interim show, “Fox Business Tonight,” will air starting 5 p.m. Eastern Monday with rotating hosts Jackie DeAngelis and David Asman and repeat at 7 p.m. ET.
In December, Smartmatic sent a letter threatening legal action to Fox and two other networks, Newsmax and One America News Network, also popular with supporters of former President Donald Trump.
That month, Fox aired pre-taped segments in which a voting technology expert said he hadn’t seen any evidence that Smartmatic software was used to alter vote counts. The segments aired on Dobbs’ program and on Fox News Channel shows with Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro.
