Explanation: Leaving planet Earth for a moment, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket arced into the early evening sky last Sunday at 7:27 pm EST from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A. This 3 minute 20 second exposure traces the launch streak as seen over watery reflections from Port Canaveral, about 15 miles south of the launch. The rocket carried four astronauts en route to the International Space Station on the first flight of a NASA-certified commercial human spacecraft system. Dubbed Resilience, the astronauts' Crew Dragon spacecraft successfully docked with the orbital outpost one day later, on Monday, November 16. At the conclusion of their six-month stay on the ISS, the Crew-1 astronauts will use their spacecraft to return to Earth. Of course about 9 minutes after launch the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage returned to Earth, landing in the Atlantic Ocean on autonomous spaceport drone ship Just Read The Instructions.

If Truth causes Conflict, is it better to tell Lies?
Is that relevant to anything or just a stray comment?
It was probably relevant to something, but that “something” appears to have moved.
Anyone who has a Facebook account, please search for Cold Life Photography. He’s a young man who lives near the cape. He has special access to the launch pad. His photography is simply amazing.
I look at these photos from Space X and NASA and wonder what people really believe when they see them. I used to think all the NASA photos were for real. I have black & white photos of the original 7 astronauts from when I was in 6th grade for what that’s worth. Then I found out these images are not at all real as represented to the Public. Why would that be? I did a lot of digging as I want to know the truth about everything with no hidden agenda. I came across this bit of investigation, so am sharing with you all here.
