The US is putting people in Space again today

Figured this might interest some here. The Nasa/SpaceX launch (hopefully) today could be a big step in manned spaceflight making a resurgence.

Liftoff is supposed to be 3:33 CST.

How do we watch this?

My link has a watch button on it as well. The instrumentation in the cockpit is amazing.

I watched this for about 3 minutes, didn’t understand a single thing that was said. But the suits look dope! :joy: definitely watching later.

Spacex would be awesome to work for awhile.

Is it them or Blue Origin that has a big facility out in West Texas somewhere?

I’m certain that controls engineering would come in handy.

West Texas? Oh nevermind then :wink:

Or not… launch looks to be getting delayed by weather :frowning:

Just began the launch abort sequence.

Got the kids in front of the TV just in time to see it delayed.

Saturday at 2:22 PM central time.
