Looks like we are back in space
Looks like we won't have to rely on the Russians anymore

I'm concerned that this will have a deleterious impact on NASA's Muslim outreach efforts, which was NASA's primary focus during the O years. Focus on the mission, people.

The launch does not further the MSM current narrative... which seems to include only the election and the virus. I wonder if the Palestinians are still lobbing missiles into Israel, or if Kim is still building and testing ever larger missiles, or if Iran is continuing to enrich uranium, or if Isis is still extinct, or if Brexit is still a thing or if the Greek currency has collapsed totally yet. You know, events which might also impact us here at home as well and be of consequence to we the people.

Not exactly a Saturn V is it?
It's about damn time. I'm amazed at how things have changed in the years since the Shuttle stopped flying. The suits actually look comfortable. The capsule used to be wall-to-wall switches. Now, three monitors. Crew sits comfortably. Even Mission Control has a different look. Artemis, the next moon launch, is going to use the Space Launch System which will be more powerful than the Saturn V and will look a lot more like the traditional Apollo capsule setup some of us were used to seeing. Very excited to see that one launch. |
