Am I the only one who is nervous here??

I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

We know well how dangerous this thing is. All that fire. All the meticulous calculations and systems that must work perfectly.

Nice clean launch from my balcony - seemed to jump the gun and go off 1 min before my timer indicated

I'm betting NASA has a more accurate clock than corkoman.

Beautiful launch!

This is so beautiful. Watched it on tv and then ran outside to watch it live. Amazing stuff. I often think that if islam takes over the world all of this would end. Over my dead body!

Good clean launch, one small report of foam loss, but it was high up and shouldn't be a factor.

I'm reading the new book by former astronaut Tom Jones, Sky Walking, its OK, not as much fun as the one by Mike Mullane, where he dished the dirt. But Jones was from class 13, Mullane was from the first class, the "twenty five new guys"
