I don't think I've watched a launch in years but this one seems pretty cool.

    I am looking forward to this.  Saw a picture of the inside of it.  We live in the future.

    Fuel is being loaded.  Looks like there is one weather cell they were concerned about but it looks like it's a go for 4:33 ET

    Doing something we could do in the 60’s doesn’t seem like making history.  

    We could have had people land on Mars by now.

    The walls of reality will come crashing down. One minute, you'll be the savior of the rebel cause; next thing you know, you'll be Cohaagen's bosom buddy. You even have fantasies about alien civilizations as you requested; but in the end, back on Earth, you'll be lobotomized!

    I'm extremely interested in this (and nervous!). I'm bummed the launch had to be called off yesterday, but will definitely be watching and hoping it happens on Saturday. Those astronauts have balls of steel.

    A waste of money  and more wreckage to the environment. That money and those resources could have gone a long way to helping a lot of people and/ or the planet.
