Anyone else watching the stream of the first manned space launch by a private company? Weather permitting.



Launch scheduled for 3:22pm eastern.

T-10 minutes

Watched some.

I wasn't even aware they were going up to dock with ISS.

Spouse: "Where are they going... Mars.?"
Me: "Yep."

That’s hilarious! I haven’t seen that movie in probably 30 years. But m going to have to look for that one.

I watched the launch. Pretty cool stuff. I’m glad we are getting back into the space game.

Watched it live from my backyard.

KSC is right across the river from us.

Wonderful day. Now we can tell those Rooskis to stick their 60 year old Space Lada' you know where.

You can see the ISS that it’s docked with doll go over about every 90 minutes. I am sure there is a website to tell you when and where to look.

Watching that giant fiery phallus thrusting vigorously to penetrate the atmosphere against its will was so aaahhhhhhh!

Well, it's about the right shape.....

I hope they, like Bilbo Baggins, make it "there and back again."

Thought y'all might enjoy looking at the space flight cockpits over the years....

Back when the Apollos were flying the IC chip had not even been invented much less the microprocessor!

Bluescreened? That has not happened to me since I got all the Micro$oft software off my computers.
Surely they wouldn't have any M$ software on a spacecraft!?!?!?!

Interesting to look at the sleek craft (currently on docking approach), compared to the riveted metal sheet assemblies of the Gemini era.

EDIT: there are dimples on the surface, inverted rivets of sorts!
