Bactine and a band-aid won us every word war ever. Nobody needs space-grown breast implants. We'll, I'd need to see a picture first.
Bridenstine is the one (and only) person in the trump administration who impresses me. He has demonstrated relative independence from trump and not enforced trump's war on intellectualism. When trump appointed him, I was afraid that he would carry trump's war on knowledge of the facts of global warming and climate change to NASA, but Bridenstine has not done that. Bridenstine has also demonstrated that he is unafraid to take on the entrenched "old space" companies like Boeing and ULA when when needed.
Agree. And after launch was scrubbed today he said that no matter what VIP's are in attendance..... they will not launch unless it is 100% safe to do so.
I'd imagine he might have been talking about Trump being there.
Another chance to launch today at 2:22. Weather looks like it might not cooperate again, is about a 50% chance to launch.
Told my 5 year old about it, may have backfired. He decided he doesn't need a nap and needs the live feed...
Hope your kid enjoyed it Ctown! My 4yr old went nuts.
I have tears.
We needed this as a country.
Never doubt this country and the things we can accomplish.
**** iowa.
Booster rocket successfully landed on the cargo ship. F***ing amazing. I was bummed the camera crapped out so we couldn't see it.
Been watching these things my entire life, I'm still blown away each time it happens. Amazing stuff.
I'm also still amazed after all of these years what it looks from 125 miles up. 125 miles is a short trip here on terra firma...their view looks like they're next to the moon.
I wish there was a better way to see/feel/experience the acceleration. When they're really climbing and ripping through 2, 3 and 4,000 mph...that's gotta be something.

I don't remember seeing footage from inside the "cockpit" before. Was this the first time? They looked waaaaay more relaxed than I imagine during the launch. Movies make it look like a struggle to stay alive with the G-forces, uncontrollable shaking, eyes bulging, etc..
There is some absolutely incredible footage from the cockpits from the Apollo missions. Now that’s a big rocket. You’d love it. There are several great documentaries out there.
