Being that I'm in my 70s, I grew up with our initial manned space efforts. I've miss the media focus and excitement. And also feel sorry for the younger generations not experiencing today what I did back then.

To see a manned launch from our soil after 10 years of idleness is exciting. And to see it being handled by a private company instead of the corrupted Global Warming NASA cabal is a huge plus as well.

I wish resounding success today! Big Grin

I remember well watching the televised moon landing decades back. Living in Daytona in the early 70's we could see a few launches from the beach.

Back in 2000 I met John Glenn and his wife at a VIP event in NYC. Great honor..

Based on the radio chatter, it sounds like it's not looking good... Most likely will be scrubbed for weather, with another try on Saturday.

That would be my guess, considering what it looks like outside, I think they open up the lens on the TV cameras, it's darker than it looks on Tee Vee

I did enjoy the 'pre-game' coverage. Bummed for it to get scrubbed, but with lives at risk, do it right.

Unfortunately the current forecast for Saturday is 78% rain. It is Florida though, so that forecast is a crapshoot.

Looks like an older Omega Speedmaster X-33.

Lots of people had / have them in Navy / Air Force aviation.
