Let’s pray for a successful launch and return of the spacecraft. This country needs a shot in the arm. No pun intended.
i wonder if the space station peeps have to social distance lol- they probably wanna right about now-
Riding up on millions of dollars of the lowest bid parts . . .
Drove up A1A in the early morning of July 16 1969. You should have seen the crowds. It would surly break my heart to see such sights again. (OK, it was my sister driving, I was still a bit young.) I’ll be watching from the little park near Pineda Causeway on US1. If you want to say Hey! look for the goggles. Wouldn’t miss this for all the bats in China.
I considered flying down there from the Twin Cities.
I visited some sites where they talked about the best places to watch the launch. Unfortunately, it seemed as though the best places (Kennedy Space Center or Playalinda Beach at Canaveral National Seashore) were closed. The few decent places that were open seemed like there’d be a lot of people crowded into relatively small areas.
In the best interest of not catching COVID-19, I decided to pass. I’ll watch it on TV and hopefully catch another launch sometime down the road.
Desperately hoping for a fully successful launch. This country NEEDS to have its own fully functioning and capable space program again. We were the first to put a man on the moon. Having to ask the Russians for a ride on their spacecraft so we could put people into space after the Space Shuttles were retired was heartbreaking to witness.
I don’t care how you feel about Elon Musk, this launch is about America building its own spacecraft again and putting Americans back into space without help from anybody else. Every single red-blooded American should be rooting for total success here!
