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.

This was an exhilarating moment in our nations' history, and I feel so fortunate to have witnessed it! Thanks to modern technology, we had front row seats.😊 This unforgettable moment is one I will treasure for the rest of my life!!!❤❤

...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.



The pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.

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!
