Some reading may be following. I thought to share this link if anyone wanted to catch the lift off tomorrow.

I hope the engineering was better than the writing in that article.

 

Let's hope that bolt of lightning fully dissipated

 

Here I thought...

 

 

I just hope this is the return to the semi-armed-services Texas pilot style of NASA over woke as a joke Space X. I just about kicked something when some bimbo Space X countdown woman started thanking everyone except the fuggin' Academy and cheering woooo when they launched.

 

I'm getting read to watch it myself.

 

Hmmm seems they are having the same issues as back in the 60's, problems arising of all sorts postponing the launch. For sure anyone that rode or will ride in one of these bombs has stones! And I thought the Aliens warned us not to come back to the moon...lol

 

Liftoff now scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

 

I saw this on another car forum.

 

They're projecting 400,000 people there to watch this happen. That's a lot of people.

 

Thanks for the reminder - I almost forgot.

 

Sometime in October now? Was there in the mid/late '80s. Witnessed a few shuttle launches which were quite impressive.

Roflmfao!!

Update I received in the mail today

Keith - I watched the liftoff. I've been loosely following. Exciting. Thanks for the update.

 

Nice that you caught the lift off. I heard one person describe it lighting up the area so much that you could see blue sky. Amazing
I have also heard reports about using a moon base for a fueling station for a future mars pit stop utilizing water detected there to be transformed and or processed into hydrogen. Any bones to that ya think?

 

I suppose it's possible. Supposedly the Russian's were first to find water on the Moon; the, NASA confirmed it's presence much later. What there is an A$$LOAD of is Helium-3 - hundred of millions of tons of the stuff. I have no skinny on what private industry (including NASA) may propose regarding a lunar fueling station - I've read much hype about it, but I have no clue honestly. I wonder which item an entity would consider first: (1) A vehicle to use the fuel (for space travel) - I'll bet that's a long, long way down the road; or, (2) creation of a fuel from resources found on the moon.

 

Very cool.

I watched the final shuttle launch on the news years ago.
