Astra’s first launch from the Space Coast after several delays appeared to be on the way to success.

The live video feed showed a successful separation, and second engine start-up. Upon the engine firing, the live feed appeared to show the vehicle in a vertical spin and the view of Earth could be seen in the background coming and going.

Shortly after, the video signal was lost.

The official word from NASA is that the vehicle failed to reach orbit. More information will be available later.

COMMUNITY CALL FOR HELP: Grant-Valkaria family needs heavy equipment to drain floodwater from their homeNina Fecarotta Brent and her family live at 3625 1st Avenue, near Valkaria Road and Old Dixie Highway. She says their home is still taking on water. They have about 9 inches of water in the house and their basement is flooded.The family says the wooded lot behind their house, between 1st Avenue and Old Dixie Highway, is holding water. They believe that if a drainage path is cut from that lot to the retention pond on Old Dixie, the water would drain away from their home.They say both the landowner and the town have given permission for the work. The town also told them it will not do the work itself, so they are looking for help from the community.WHAT THEY NEED: Anyone with a backhoe, front-end loader, excavator or trash pump who can help dig a drainage path from the lot to Old Dixie Highway.The family says the foundation of their home has already been damaged.If you can help, message Nina Fecarotta Brent directly on Facebook or go to 3625 1st Avenue.#grantvalkaria #brevardcounty #spacecoast ...

Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning another run for the White House in 2028, according to three sources who spoke with the Washington Post on Friday.The report comes days after Republicans took heavy losses in Tuesday's midterm elections. According to the Post, DeSantis, who is term-limited, has contacted at least one national political consultant about working on a new presidential campaign. His federal super PAC also sent a fundraising text this week, which some people who know him saw as a sign he intends to run.Sources told the Post that DeSantis sees an opening after voters rebuked President Trump in the midterms. A DeSantis adviser said the governor is expected to point to Florida as one of the few red states mostly untouched by Tuesday's blue wave.DeSantis has made several national media appearances since the election. On CNN, he said the ongoing Iran war, and the high oil and gas prices that followed, is a major problem for Republicans."The Republican mantra since Trump came on the scene was, we don't want to get in these open-ended conflicts, and that's what this has become," DeSantis said. He also said he has criticized Republican congressmen and Senate candidates for blaming high gas prices on Joe Biden, adding, "when you gaslight people, they don't trust you on anything else."DeSantis ran for president in 2024 but dropped out in January of that year after the Iowa caucuses. He endorsed President Trump, who went on to win the nomination and the presidency.DeSantis' chief of staff, Jason Weida, did not respond to the Post's request for comment.#DeSantis2028 #FloridaPolitics #Election2028 ...
