You sure he is middle aged... looks like at least 55... but then I'm biased...

With luck, that'll be middle age for me.

get lots to exercise, and keep away from the carbs and sugars; and pray you have good DNA ;-)

I love how self assured and confident they are.

... Molly bragging about how awesome the company is was fun.

"Getting to space is difficult." But it can't be more difficult than trying to get a comet to survive through a solar passage - yet it DOES (somewhat)! So come on Falcon - surely you can do a bread-n-butter GTO mission!?

Gorgeous sky in the webcast - there should be some great photos from this launch

Fourth, actually.

Almost... almost... but this is why they start the engines before releasing the rocket.

I guess now the question is, can they cycle now or is this a "roll back inside, look at the engine" case.

Oh no, another late night!

Indeed... and I had plans to be at the local supermarket door 8AM (for PS4).. if this goes close to 2AM local for me, might be hard to wake up

The window is only an hour long.

It's only a 60+ minute window - won't go too late.

The sooner it starts the sooner the party is over. Practice makes perfect. Strong back is working tonight.

And the AC duct didn't detach anymore.
