No matter what else is going on in the world, human space flight is always exciting. Especially the return of launching US astronauts from US soil and the first use of commercial spacecraft for that purpose.

Neat-o.

Too bad there is a dude on that thing. Rocket launches are way more entertaining when they blow up.

Then you should have seen the Discovery channel special last night documenting the Space X story.

There were several explosions, including one on the launch pad!

The space capsule is much more roomy than the Apollo capsule that only held 3 astronauts. I know it is only going into Earth orbit instead of the moon.

Yep scrubbed until Saturday. I was that kid that got up at 0430 to watch the shuttle lift off. Still love this stuff.

 

[cigars]

Denied! Back at it on Saturday.
