    I will be disappointed. Like on a plane waiting to take off and then send back to the gate. Flying is very safe.

    Flying a plane is most likely be safe but a rocket that never been tested probably is not.

    They didn't test it before? All those SpaceX launches I been hearing about wasn't for this rocket?

    dont count your chickens before they hatch...


    this is one thing that could happen to a rocket/space craft when launching during a storm ...
    it's always afternoon!!

    have fun out there.

    Ugh, so upset I missed the actual launch! Tuned in just in time to see Dragon orbiting, on its way to the space station! Very curious to see how this develops over the coming years, and if we can really commercialize space travel. Wouldn't that be something?

    19 hours to ISS. How far is the ISS? SpaceX seem to do everything tsimpler and smoother than NASA. Look at the control room. A few rows of tables, a few tech at each table, and that's it. Not crowded and full of consoles like a NASA control room.

    The name of the drone ship that the first stage separation reusable rocket booster lands on after separating in space from the SpaceX rocket is Of Course I Still Love You. There is another drone ship named Just Read The Instructions.
