Astronauts are so freakin cool. I could never be that cool.

So far they are go for launch! Squeee.

Countdown resumed! Less than 10 minutes!

FUCK YEAH SPACE!!!!!

As much as I love space stuff, I've only really watched a handful of launches and I'm pretty sure the last manned launch I actually watched was... well... let's just say it didn't go so well.

@bigzaphod my other half couldn't watch this one for the same reason. She's sat through lots of launches with me, but not the crewed ones.

@tehstu yeah I didn't realize how much it might be that I've been actively avoiding watching crewed ones, tbh. Never considered that. There's def trauma from seeing that in school.

@bigzaphod @tehstu Did you see how they intentionally cut away when the boosters separated? Yeeeah.
