• Wonder what that is being launched at 7:20? Thought it looked too fast - and wrong trajectory - for anything intended for orbit, which was kinda confirmed by it appearing to explode.

    Presumably a SAM of some kind, but I'm pretty sure it's Baikonur or thereabouts.

    Edit: Comments say "Progress MS-10 resupply ship bound for ISS launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, as seen from the International Space Station on November 16th, 2018". So I guess I mistook the explosion for staging. At least I'd sleuthed the location correctly :)

    Can also see it continuing for another couple of mins, and around 9:10 presumably the first stage burning up on re-entry. Pretty incredible to see it captured like that.
