Jack Hydrazine checking in...
Think I’ll stay up for this launch. Since I’m on the Left Coast it’ll be a 1:55 a.m. lift off.
How many others are staying up for it?

I don't do television, cable, or all of that stuff. I do skim internet service while providing it, though, so I'll have to rely on live feeds off the net.
I did check my redundant circuit for the other network provider, just to make sure there aren't any interruptions.
Poverty is ok, if you can manage it correctly.

Nap then back up to watch. I'm CST, so I'll have time for a nap.

I might set my internal clock to wake up around then. It isn’t too reliable though. :) I’m on CDT.

" How many others are staying up for it?" I'm driving over from central Florida with my daughter. I told her this is an historic launch and pre-dawn con trails are spetacular when they gain enough altitude to get some sun on them. I hope the don't scrub it.

Gonna try. I’d have to be up 2 hours later for work anyway, so what the heck. Just have to set the alarm....
....and hope my wife doesn’t attempt to kill me.
