Hope it all goes well. Imagine the feeling in your guts right now with minutes to go before lift off

the vertical landing of the boosters is so impressive, I remember when Elon first shared the idea a few years back and I thought it was a bit of a gimmick/ wishful thinking

just landed boosters in their first manned takeoff... fair play

Video faltered so we didn’t see the booster land. One for the conspiracy theorists.

Cant be arsed to post links, but if you want to see brilliant footage, go on YouTube and type in
"Space shuttle rocket booster view" and you will get footage from the old space shuttles getting launched with a camera, attached to either one of the solid rocket boosters, looking down to earth , all the way from take off , to shuttle separation and falling back down to ocean

Oooooooooooo you can read my boring posts first hand now instead of some saddo cut and pasting it :wave:, you unlucky boy :hehe:

i saw a rocket launch, sure it was only Atlas 5, but we were on orlando at the time and headed to KSC for the day, went to the launch viewing area closest to the pad, got out space on the bench and waited, they broadcast all the checks, then the countdown, i must admit it was a experience, then you saw takeoff and heard the sonic boom, well worth the day out, the whole of KSC is buzzing for the day, we spoke to someone at our resort who drove to the nearest beach to watch it, but you cannot beat the atmosphere in KSC on launch day
