I'm up early to watch the launch from my driveway. A great website for the launch schedule is https://spaceflightnow.com/. Enjoy!

Thanks,I forget all about that. In Sanford it looks a little cloudy towards the Cape, but not enough to prohibit viewing the launch! ?????ÿ

I really wish this space travel stuff were front and center in the news. ?ÿAll the inter-agency, inter-country, inter-galactic cooperation toward a common goal. ?ÿSpace, the final frontier.

EDIT: ?ÿDid you know about this launch 4 days ago, with an American astronaut?

I harken back to the 1960's when the three TV networks would show the launches live.?ÿ Frequently this was outside the normal broadcast day (no 24-7 then).?ÿ Many times the splashdowns would be shown as well.

Rat's - Only thing I saw was the first stage con trail. @field-dog have you ever witnessed the boosters returning. I wonder if you could see them from US 1 in Titusville??ÿ

Saw the relanding on live video. It looked more impressive when Flash Gordon did it 65 years ago.

Closer to 84 years ago, Paul.?ÿ I remember watching these serials in the early 1970's on campus.?ÿ Kept a bunch of fool students coming back week after week to see if Flash (Buster Crabbe) could possibly defeat Ming the Merciless (Charles Middleton).?ÿ One of them was me.
