Space X Launch Take 2

Anonymous032819 — Sat, 30 May 2020 11:02:19 GMT

Today they are going to try again to launch Space X, weather permitting.

This will be the first manned space craft, since the last shuttle nine years ago.

It's supposed to blast off at 3:22 Eastern.

It would be so wonderful if the weather would cooperate, @Anonymous032819 ! Thanks for the reminder.

"Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth....

And while with silent lifting mind I've trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space

Put out out my hand

And touched the face of God". - John Gillespie Magee Jr.

Godspeed to the astronauts.

Looks like it's going to happen!

BTW the Weather Channel is running a live special on the launch on TV right now and they are doing a really good job of it

Two threads is not surprising, usually there are more for something like this. Safe travels to these brave people. Melania must have had a full schedule. Tongue in cheek humor, of course. She does what she can. It was a historic event and it was time. The country needed this today.
