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.

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.

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

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.

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.
