Space jellyfish alert!
The USSF-432 rocket launch from California on November 2, 2026 at 5:42 PM PST could produce a space jellyfish. This occurs when a rocket and its expanding exhaust plumes are illuminated by the sun and observers are in local darkness.
NOTE: This launch has a 240-minute window; this forecast is for a 5:42 PM PST launch. A later liftoff will materially change this forecast.
The rocket will enter sunlight 02m37s after launch.
Viewing locations, peak elevation while rocket is lit by the sun, and approximate viewing direction:
🟢 Los Angeles • 31° • SW
🟢 Modesto • 9° • SSE
🟡 Hermosillo • 19° • WSW
🟡 Phoenix • 13° • SW
🟡 Culiacán • 15° • WSW
🔴 Ciudad Juárez • 7° • WSW
🔴 Tepic • 9° • W

I flew across the country this week to surprise my son in college.
I hadn’t seen him since June and had low expectations for how much time I would actually get.
When I waved to him as he stepped out of a Monday morning lecture, he was shocked. Then I saw the gears turning in his head.
He was running through how my unexpected arrival would affect the next three days of his life. At lunch he was scanning his calendar and firing off texts.
Only later did I realize he was busy excusing himself from events that no longer seemed important and making sure I could come with him to the ones that still were.
For a whirlwind couple of days, he kindly weaved me into his college life. He gave me a personal high-speed tour of the school’s art museum, complete with stops at Andy Warhol and Claude Monet and a bust of Augustus and some ancient Egyptian pottery.
We dropped in on his friends’ dorms and he introduced me like I was actually cool. Best of all, I got to rehearse with the school band as they prepared for their Saturday halftime show. (I played the all-important cow bell.)
Here I went to surprise my kid and my kid ended up surprising me.
The night before I left he hung out in my hotel room till long after midnight. We watched a Dodgers game and he caught me up on the last three months. It was all the things a dad could want.
A busy life doesn’t leave much room for spontaneity. But every once in a while, doing something crazy is the right decision. When those opportunities come, make sure you say yes.
And be ready to add some more cow bell!
I started Silver Cord Stories as a place to tell heartfelt tales like this one. If that’s something you want more of, simply share and follow.
Thanks!

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

If you’re already a CRUSHer who supported the $100,000 campaign last year, CRUSH 3.0 is no longer just the best-in-class note-taking software. Now it’s collaborative. Slack-style chat, simple project management (any including low res party planning with your spouse). New features.
This is not our final destination. This is the very beginning, refactored, ready to become social. We are not like the others. Like always, more to come.
