Great launch and kudos to Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX

I got the feeling that some in the media were hoping for a failure, some barely covered this. Elon is like a modern day Howard Hughes, he takes enormous risks and keeps pulling it off.

Tried to watch the launch on Wednesday......clouds and scrubbed
Wanted to watch today.....clouds
This is a really cool thing for America without a doubt, after 10 years.....who needs the Russians.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++to NASA & SpaceX & the USA!

We're BACK! So great to see good positive news after such a crappy week and last 3+ months. Our front windows face due east, and typically can see the rocket flare go up, but nope - mostly cloud cover. But the TV/video coverage was wonderful and looked to be a very smooth ride UP.

Tesla stock will be going up,up,up as well I'd expect.

That was a great launch for so many reasons. It's nice to have an event that the whole country can rally around. I would imagine that the only ones who weren't rooting were the Russians who just lost a ton of future income.

Then quit using your electronic devices to spread your misinformed opinions. They would not exist without the space program.

“Wast”? Don’t you mean “waste”?

Learn to spell before your start judging whether it is a waste of all of our money.

It’s was something historic to take our minds off the pandemic and the idiots looting and burning businesses.

One day look at the list of things that make our everyday life better that came out of the space program. You might have second thoughts about that statement.
