Thanks Jim. I'll try to tune in.

I'm old enough to still remain super impressed with the Saturn V launches. Even visited a site down south where one was displayed horizontally. Simply HUGE!

It's gotten pushed back like 5 times now and window closes at 4 pm, not looking good for today.

I never missed a Saturn V launch, even the first one while in the Army. Each one was an adrenalin rush.

And that sir is the reason why you have two monitors on your desk and participate on the call from your office. Wink

Yeppers, dual monitors is a necessity anymore.

FYI it's clear and sunny in FL, 76 degrees,
low level winds are negligible, conditions appear nominal. Big Grin

If you have the means to retrieve it from the Mars neighborhood sure. Smile

Cant wait! Are they plan on landing all of the components to this launch on pads or are they just going to parachute them back since this is just a test?

Yeah and the narrative they're providing pre-launch indicates the twin side boosters will indeed land at Canaveral. Same deal with the center rocket but an a sea recovery/landing. Wow all three to land for reuse.
