NASA's advancement in space flight technology astound me./s
In the early 60's we watched Atlas rockets launch Mercury capsules.
We would get out of class and go into the play yard at Sable Elementary in Eua Gallie Florida, now part of Melbourne.
Surely Nasa and the Air Force could have come up with better launch vehicles in 47 yrs.
The money was probably spent on social engineering instead of Aerospace engineering.

In 2015, I was able to get to Cape Canaveral and watch a liftoff of one of the satellites. I had read and seen television of the launches, but the reality of the rocket taking off, the sound of the engines and the trail of smoke was more than I had ever thought.

What an incredible thing to see.

Spying on us or our enemies? With our intelligence community it will likely be parked over Fresno.

...but unacceptable wins prevented launch....

((
If the wins are unacceptable, what do they think of the losses? :)
