Crew ingress in progress.
Second time is the charm.
The hell with bad news. Onward, forward, skyward and spaceward!
Godspeed Bob and Dough!
And all ya'alls, take the red pill.
CONGRATULATIONS SPACEX!!!!!
1st stage landing coming up!
When I was a boy watching launches in the 1960s, they had this "animation" on the TV which imagined what the astronauts were seeing. It was almost cartoonish.
SO cool!!
Awesome
Cool, I was hoping they’d show the falcon reentry and landing
I must take a moment and mention that I once worked for NASA.
Not that anyone might care but I feel bravado as I watch the ship take off for space.
It was called NASA STIF-”Science and Technical Information Facility”, located in Fort Meade, Maryland. That name has since been changed, I forget to what.
It was really a huge storage facility of space souvenirs. The most famous one was the first space suit worn by the first man on the moon.
It was in a glass cage but one was allowed to go in and put arms in sleeves. Employees could bring their kids in, which I did. They loved it.
Just some thoughts and memories.
I was terrible in that job.
What’s with those “fly swatters” on the rocket sides?

I wonder if Bob and Doug McKenzie are watching
Awesome to see this again! It’s veen so long.
It always amazes me how calm their voices are.
Agreed!
OMG!! This is so awesome I’m in tears!!!
Am watching this now, absolutely beautiful, perfect launch, God Bless our heroes going into space
Come on 1st stage, land that guy on the head of a pin.
