I'm excited but I do not want to wait until 2 AM, good grief What's wrong with waiting until 2AM on a Friday night? Just binge Star Trek as necessary until the time comes, like me.

StrandedonEarth Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I’m not too concerned about the launch itself, a launch and recovery is routine for SpaceX by now. By the time I get up in the morning they should have some data on how D2 is performing, and that’s when things will get interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be at the S-V center but I just can't afford the $100 ticket for admission (and then some for the ticket to the center). It still pretty good, and you don’t have to “suffer” the KSC’ dumb tour before reaching the spot. Also, 2 hours of traffic jams and waiting lines before reaching the S-V center... —— Back to the topic, here are two pictures of the 39A (Falcon is hardly visible with the launch tower): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheif Operations Director Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The question right now for me is which will win, my excitement to watch this or my exhaustion. Some old German marching songs should wake me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 No SpaceX FM. Hosted by both SpaceX and NASA, it looks like, and 45 minutes of it too. I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what ever reason my YouTube tends to load at 360p for this reason only recently have I scene a launch in 1080p That crew arm looks so futuristic!
