If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
We've made 3 pilgramages to KSC - in the last 6 months. I missed this one except on line, but am already plotting for a return in July.
ReplyDeleteEverything nominal... there goes the ET. MECO.
Go Endeavour!
My Facebook post about it:
ReplyDelete"Love NASA TV channel. Watched the launch until about T+20sec, then stepped outside and at about T+1:50 a bright orange ball trailed by intense white contrail popped above the trees. It was visible for about 15 seconds until SRB separation. Only one left to see."
As you might infer, I live about 50 miles north of KSC (near OMN). We also hear them coming back, if they return on the northern track. Boom, Boom. Surprises me every time.

The shuttles have always given me (good) chills. They like the SR-71 and U-2, are the engineering equivalent of walking on water. Seeing them fly and come back gives me the bone-deep appreciation that technology can be wonderful, transcendent magic. But we seem to have lost sight of both those aspects of what once America's surpassing ability and vision. So little of that today and of the hard work essential to making it look so easy. Will we ever walk on the moon again?
ReplyDelete"Will we ever walk on the moon again?"
ReplyDeleteYup. But "we" won't be speaking English.
Maybe. But I think we've gone about as far as chemical rockets can take us. I have doubts as to whether a two-year mission would ever be feasible.
