I wonder if we could point telescopes at the centre of our galaxy and collect enough photons that bounced of earth, went all the way to the black hole of our galaxy and were bended back to us. Probably not, but i like this idea. We could see our earth how it was 54'000 years ago.

30-40 minutes from Starship launch based on prior visual queues.

Edit: looks like a hold/abort, as tank farm activity subsided, there's now a security vehicle at the pad.


Edit: latest per this tweet -

Yeah, would be nice if they could recycle today and go for it. Depends on what the issue with the Raptor was I suppose.

OK, let's try this again. Could be 10 minutes or so before launch.
