Ya, you don't want to miss that luanch. It will be the falcon 9 rocket pushing a dragon crewed capsule to the ISS with the first American astronauts (Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley) to return to space flight from American soil, by an American rocket, since 2011. SpaceX beat Boeing by a full year.

Yeah I spent most of the day watching SpaceX videos the other day. Didn’t realize just how much they’ve been doing. This May 27th launch is considered another test technically. The final test for certification. That last one with three successful boosters returning, two of them in sync, was amazing.

Not sure about the whole traveling to other planets and setting up colonies because - climate change.

I’m in Missouri and we were a candidate for the hyperloop but I guess we’re out.

I used to live in FL. Never made it to Cape Canaveral but we still got a decent view by just walking outside. Got woken up by plenty of sonic booms when the shuttle returned.
