Thank the powers-that-be that the liftoff was successful.

I am so happy that we are back in the business of launching our own astronauts for our new missions.

I totally forgot about it. Started attacking the hollies this morning since temps are down a bit. Got 2 done and I was done. Cleaned up and we went to pick up a coupld of pork stuffed potatoes for a late lunch. Sat down to eat, turned on the TV, and it was 5:00 until launch, so we timed it perfectly. Made hubby change the channel though. I wanted to hear the launch babble in the background I'm so accustomed to hearing and the channel he had it on didn't have it. It was a beautiful thing.

Beautiful and interesting, but I have to laugh every time one of the analysts or commentators say the lauch marks the beginning of ordinary people having a chance at space tourism, Yes Sir - ordinary people with many millions of dollars maybe. Hardly ordinary.

...what @QVCkitty1 said. For the love of Mike, read threads which interest you, and bypass the rest; few things in life are that simple.

Yes, liftoff was great. Because it's been so long, it reminded me of space missions when we were kids, and we were allowed to stay home to watch the launches.

Let’s all just be happy for something good and stop trying to start arguments over two good threads. Just enjoy the lift off.

A fabulous day for America! I liked the part when the commentator said during the last part of the countdown: "let's light this candle" in tribute to Alan Shepard.

Great to see such a successful effort....and how us in space inspires the younger ones!
