We have it on again. Still iffy.

Looking good so far!

Good to see it went off okay. 4 more years until moon?

Missed it, working on stuff at my mom's....but she had her turner on the correct channel so we could rewind and watch it. Very cool stuff.

Very cool indeed! The "style" in the capsule is so clean and different from the old days. And I still am blown away every time I see the booster rocket land upright on a floating, autonomous ship. :shock:

We just started watching the Netflix series "Space Force". Hilarious parallels to real time. Steve Carrell is playing the role very well. Lots of other great comedic actors involved, too.

Even cooler was when they landed 2 simultaneously!

If you haven't already, try your hand at docking the Dragon capsule to ISS. The interface is the same as in the actual Dragon controls.

Watched the launch and later the docking! Good to see we are once more doing things “not because they are easy, but because they are hard!”

We never stopped! Hubble, Webb, Cassini? Way too much to list. It just does not grab the headlines and public imagination like it used to. Ho hum, another fly by of something out in the solar system that made some stunning images and data.......how about that game last night?
