SpaceX launch
 

If the weather holds, today will be the first commercial launch of humans into space. The astronauts are on their way to the launch vehicle.

Thunderstorms in the area. May or may not happen. Not sure what the protocol will be.

Do you know if anyone is carrying it or just the NASA live feed?

Discovery channel has it.

I've been watching the SpaceX Youtube live feed and it has been a pretty good listen. They've been talking about the advances in tech since the shuttle program, etc. Might not hear much of that at this point though.

Looks like the weather might break in time. Just under 40 minutes to go.

Looks like a launch abort due to weather.

Unfortunately, weather looks like it's not going to cooperate today

Just over 18 mins to launch

I am excited

Huzzah!

Godspeed to them.

Shit, the world is flat. ;)

TO THE MOON AND BEYOND!!

I keep thinking of strange brew when they say Bob and Doug.

1st stage lands successfully. Wow.

Incredible

Oh man, this has been great. 2020 has been quite shitty. I certainly needed that. I'm sure a lot of people did.

So they get to land about 19 hours from now. About 9ish tomorrow morning?

That was awesome. I cannot wit until we go to the moon. Imagine the boost to everyone when man steps on the moon again.

I think it will be better than 1969.

Darn, missed it because I was weeding.

Awesome accomplishment today, was great to see.

Docking at the space station now

Sometimes when I start to think this stuff is 'routine', i open up Kerbal Space Program and realize i can't even do this stuff in a video game.
