Space X to launch astronauts today

[lacanteen]

A lot of us grew up during the race to the moon, so I'm a bit more excited than the younger generations. I would love for the US to no longer depend on the Russians for human space transportation. I very much hope the launch is safe and successful.

Launch was scrubbed for today due to weather.

I certainly remember the “cold war” days and the promises of a new era in space exploration. Disappointing for the launch today. Here is some music for some nostalgia to the theme of space exploration. Sit back and get your favorite cans glued to your ears and hit the volume up!!!

Oh crap, I might be able to catch that!

I was bummed - I wanted to go today but weather was junk.

I had the feed running on my laptop all day, while I was working. We attended the first Falcon Heavy flight, and had intended to be there for this flight, but work and COVID-19 kinda got in the way. With the scrub, I think we're headed to my buddy's house in Indialantic, so we'll be able to watch it, whether it lights off on Saturday or Sunday.

Did anyone see it?

I drove up to Melbourne and was 100% blocked in view by rain. I could hear it shortly after launch, however and it sounded incredible.

Next time I know to leave way sooner.. Cocoa Beach and surrounding had very heavy traffic and I didn’t give myself enough time to get north of the rain. Ugh. Live and learn.

Took a few screen shots

Cocoa Beach was mostly clear. Saw the lift off all the way up to the lower cloud cover.

I’m sure it was awesome.

In the face of all the crap today, this is something to be proud of.
