Got to watch my first launch early this morning! Here is the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 at 4:00AM this morning. Announcer on 1 minute delay. Actual sound of the rocket doesn't hit us until the very end of the video. AWESOME!

So awesome. There's an early morning Delta 2 launch from Vandenburg scheduled for November. I may try to see that one.

IKR!! I really want to watch a launch... Unless I go to Kazakhstan all the launch sites are really far...

Probus, after trying it out for 20+ nodes, I have a few thoughts.

1. Mechjeb surface/Orbital info need to be earlier in the tech tree.

2. Definitely rockets first--Firespitter requires a commitment to deal with fussy parts that I don't have, and FAR makes rudimentary craft difficult to fly, especially on a budget.

3. I really miss my AIES parts, and am really looking forward to you adding them.

I will play more tonight and see if I cannot come up with something more intelligent to add.

Are you sure this is the right thread?

Awesome, I remember watching the shuttle go up when I was about 9.

now I have seen 'bout 10 or 12 launches, so it's a bit less awe inspiring.
