I just read the first 3 pages lol,I feel bad for u people that were watching the countdown.must of been a huge bummer to wait all night or day,whatever it was,only to have the thing go down.im not here to talk about what happened,il leave that to the metards but u people sounded like kids on the night before Christmas,only to wake up and see no presents.i had no idea there was a spaceship being launched,i just came online the other night and the first thing I seen was a vid of the ship blowing up

Turbopumps. Called it.

 

It was nice to see NASA in action today. Flight went flawlessly.

 

For yankee...

 

Thanks for posting this IBC. I was reading about it this morning. Truly amazing and exciting stuff that many seem to take for granted or just don't care.
The week before Thanksgiving, my wife and I flew out Texas to pick up a car that her sister and brother-in-law had offered us. Flew into DFW. They live about 170 miles east of there in Marshall. After several days visiting with them, we drove back to VA Beach, stopping at Huntsville, AL, to visit our oldest daughter. She' s working on her Masters at the U of Alabama campus there. Spent some time at the Space Center. Absolutely mind-boggling are the technologies involved in rocket development and space flight.

 

Ha! Great story. I figgered you'd like the guy. I really hope some kids out there are gonna grow up and take the baton. Be fearless, but not a dumbass. Take risks, but know what the f*** you're doing. Don't just ride your mountain bike into a stone wall and say "See! I'm hard core!" Then we may see the old NASA once more.
