If we’re appraching the terminator, the Earth should be appearing any second.

The rock band RUSH wrote the song “Countdown” after seeing one of the shuttle launches by invitation.

"This magic day when super-science Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams"... “Excitement so thick - you could cut it with a knife
Technology - high, on the leading edge of life”

The following is a really great video with the song and NASA video of shuttle preps and launch. The song really captures the tension of a launch - and the exhilaration of success!

Safe travels Falcon 9!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5vPrrnb6tw

Didn’t get to drive over so had to watch from my home a hundred miles away, just lost sight a minute ago with my naked eye. Good launch!

This is really historic...Best of luck to them!

THIS is defiance to Hillary and Obama.
