Countdown commenced, wooo
2.5 minutes. I’m glad this is NASA doing this.
Internal power
I’m a kid again
Wish I were there to feel the roar.
LIFT OFF
Right now, one of the astronauts is thinking “wait, did I turn off the stove?!”
@adhdeanasl "Shit! I forgot to cancel my free Netflix! They're gonna bill me on Tuesday!"

@adhdeanasl

"did everyone remember to go to the bathroom before countdown?"

@adhdeanasl

"he's on my side of the cockpit!"

"she's humming"

"don't make me turn around. i swear i'll stop this rocket and you'll all be sorry"

@adhdeanasl
I was waiting for one of them to chime in with “Shit! I forgot my phone!”
@adhdeanasl I'm Challenger generation, these still make me very nervous.
@nixanadoo Same, but the excitement still outweighs the worry for me.
@adhdeanasl @nixanadoo I'm feeling what both of you are. GenX remembers both the shock and the hope. 🤘🖖
@courtcan @adhdeanasl it was the first time I saw a non-relative adult cry.
@nixanadoo @adhdeanasl My family was living in Germany then, and Challenger is my first memory of US-news. I was almost 9, and so confused and deeply sad.
@courtcan @adhdeanasl @nixanadoo I wasn't born then, but I did see the recording of it. I am so glad none of that stuff happened. I'm so glad that launch went well.
