I moved down to FL from NJ in '04. Was living and working in Palm Coast when I first came here. I miss the shuttle launches. Whether during working hours or non-working hours, people would come outside to see them. Can't describe the sense of American pride you felt when that thing went up. | |||

Even the haters have to admit that SpaceX / Musk have a way to keep their launches 'interesting' with things like this. | |||

I think this is great, too. Although I am one who thinks man will never dig mines on the moon, or live on Mars, or do anything other than explore in the flesh near space - because of the restrictions of costs, distances, and physics - I still think this is an extremely worthy effort. Anything that seeks to explain the natural universe in an objective way is a worthy cause. And I am glad that America soon no longer has to hitch rides into space with foreign countries. The US should never have lost the ability to take itself farther than any other country was capable. _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.

That looks to me more like the sitting area for payload specialists...not the actual flight crew. Unless EVERYTHING is so automated that it doesn't have standard controls and instruments. But it IS way cool!!! Found this: https://arstechnica.com/scienc...-for-the-first-time/ About halfway down, more pics of internal layout... Found this Youtube of launch... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
