Sean HeberRoughly 38 minutes to launch window. Still time to tune in. I hope it goes. I hope it succeeds. Space is awesome.
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.
Stu@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.
Ged Maheux@bigzaphod @tehstu Did you see how they intentionally cut away when the boosters separated? Yeeeah.
manolo@gedeonm @bigzaphod oh i didnt even think of that i was just like “damn thats annoying they were showing people instead of the separation, terrible video direction”
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@manolo @gedeonm @bigzaphod yeah, I think even a successful separation would probably cause some worry (if only momentary) amongst a certain set of folks
