Streaming live on Youtube NASA feed. Hope the weather holds..... "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 | |||

Just called go for launch a few minutes ago. God bless and Godspeed, gentlemen. True American Heroes. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

This is exciting to see our astronauts take off from USA soil again. I grew up watching NASA liftoffs in the mid 60’s. "Prepared in mind and resources" | |||

So far, so good. Those touchscreens are a far cry from the dials/switches era of control panels. | |||

Don't worry Boeing Starliner has some of those. Not as crazy as the Space shuttle but more of a 'middle ground' of with computer screens but still plenty of switches. | |||

How big is the Dragon compared to a Saturn V? | |||

Considering the last shuttle launch was 2009, and that platform was using 70's era tech; visually its refreshing. Just had a call from my dad who was remarking about the space suits...yes dad, much less bulk than what the shuttle crews would wear. | |||

Falcon 9 shown with a satellite fairing and not a Dragon capsule but it gives you an idea.  | |||

Ah, predicting the weather here in Florida is like trying to pick Powerball numbers. Forecast noted 80% rain chance and right now in Orlando its sunny and clear. Here's to a great successful launch today!! I so hope this ends for good our dependence on foreign players to get us into space. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Dang, a privately owned, manned vehicle, into space. Outstanding and historical accomplishment. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Can you imagine the 'pucker' factor for the two guys sitting on top of that huge stick of dynamite? Amazing show of courage for them. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.
