LAUNCH AMERICA - Space X

[GOTWA]

I know a lot of stuff is going on in the world right now, but if you haven't been watching, Space X is about to make history. T-minus 9 minutes.

They fucking did it. It’s up. Finally some good news.

Absolutely. They just need to stick the landing. I have to say, Gwen Shotwell, the President of Space X, is a fucking gangster. I haven't met her, but I do personally know her husband.

Had no idea this was happening but I'm glad, gives me the same feeling I had when I watched Armageddon as a kid and wanted to be an astronaut.

Wish I would have posted it sooner. Either way, Harry is a hero.

Looks like they stuck that landing.

 

[BloodStripe]

That's why we are the best.

Well, to be fair, the other astronaut is former USAF

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Well, to be fair

I had tears in my eyes. Literally. I've been a fan of the space program since Skylab, That was the first Apollo spacecraft I remember being launched on TV.

Since then I've seen two shuttle launches and have been to Kennedy space center, Johnson space center, Stennis, Huntsville, and Langley.

To see the best and brightest minds in both NASA and the private sector work together to launch American astronauts from American soil, I've been waiting for this for 11 years.

And yet not many know that. Our PR machine still rocks.

You should make a weekend trip to Wallops Island. We've watched a few rockets leave to the ISS. I will probably attend the first SLS rocket launch later this year if it still happens in Novemver.

That would be awesome!

I remember watching the shuttle disaster in the 80's. I haven't watched a launch since. I just hope all goes well and everyone makes it home safely.

GOD speed.

 

[GOTWA]

And they have successfully docked!. They're currently undergoing docked pressurization and checking suits for stability. Awesome!

Such an awe inspiring event. Also love to see the private sector and govt work together like this for the good of mankind and continuing the American legacy of space faring.
