I was watching the pre-launch live while in the passenger seat on the way to work in Timaru in my bosses Tesla, on autopilot, after he downloaded the latest car software patch over his motel Wifi last night. We really are living in the future
That is all sorts of awesome!
Other than the Timaru bit...

That's Dunedin. I still have it! (and hopefully the solid capital gains hold up, post-Covid).

Gee, watching the launch is making me feel like a school-kid again.
Loving the non-nonsense NASA coverage.

That is so impressive. The ship looked great, very sci-fi. And the controlled return of the first stage onto the ship is very cool. Does the capsule splash down on return, or land on the ship?

@canefan is how a spaceship should like at this stage. Not a fucking 60s supercomputer
That's what happens when you get the private sector to design it
86 million dollars for that launch.
Last space shuttle cost 1 billion dollars...
That's crazy. And that doesn't take inflation into account I assume? Someone stole big time
